Virginia Union University
Resident Assistant (Former Employee), Union, VA – April 19, 2013
Pros: enjoyable working environment
Cons: low pay
At Virginia Union we assisted with fixing, troubleshooting, and rebooting students laptops. Any problem that students will have with their personal pc's. They would come to the IT help center and we would do our best to fix the solution.

DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE
FACULTY-PREVIOUS (Former Employee), VA – April 13, 2013
Cons: plenty
Worst place in Richmond to work. Lies, racism, sneaky tactics, and people who spend more time trying to get rid of good teachers to keep the sorry ones.

There are a lot of nice cars being driven around campus, unfortunately, they are not driven by faculty. Very top heavy with VP's and Directors who are making the money.

Ride through campus and you'll – more... see that even the new housing being sold to upcoming freshmen has ceased. Where are workers, equipment?

DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE! – less

Horrible Experience....VUU is a joke
Associate professor (Former Employee), Richmond, VA – March 4, 2013
Pros: none!!!
Cons: no benefits at all. full of lies. full of people who do know what they are doing.
Horrible Experience..This place is awful. The worst place I've ever worked for. I left the work right away. It is full of lies. Bad quality. No benefits at all. A lot of promotional promises made, but not kept. No security, basically no everything.

They lack the leadership, Amin didn't seem to care about anything other than making more money, and hire – more... more executives and VP and directors. The college was simply a diploma mill where all students passed the course as long as the college got paid. Student cheating was rampant!

Professors are not appreciated and the Executives are always fighting in the hallways.VUU is a 1 to 100 star experience at best!! I quit because it was so bad even the people you are working with are awful and running for free lunches and free food. – less

Great Place to work very productive, positive,motivational work environment ,
Administrative Assistant/Office Manager (Former Employee), Richmond, VA – January 24, 2013
Pros: the learning experience
Cons: health care was not affordable
Virginia Union University is a wonderful place of business. The environment was beautiful and relaxing. Whenever I stepped upon the campus I was greeted by the Professors and students or whom ever crossed my path. A typical day at work consisted of assisting professors prep for classes while answering the telephones and preparing for students as the – more... entered with their concerns. All the of my co-workers were helpful team players. I believe the hardest part of my job may have to be trying my best not to get emotionally envolved with the students and their families. The most enjoyable part of my job at Virginia Union University was being apart of the students learning growth and experiences. – less

Very Unprofessional Work Enviroment
Police Officer (Former Employee) (Former Employee), Police Department – January 13, 2013
Pros: no perks...as of yet
Cons: well just read the review!
Virginia Union University is a school striving hard to keep up with today's demands, However they lack the leadership to do so. The police department has little support from the school leaving them virtually with there hands tied. This university has good intentions but no real structure. And the current pay per year for veteran certified police officers – more... is a joke, This is why Union can't keep any decent police man. So all these wild reviews may need to be checked over again. VUU is a 2 to 3 star experience at best!! – less

Productive and motivating workplace
Student Assistant (Former Employee), Richmond, VA – November 20, 2012
Pros: flexible hours, pleasant atmosphere and time for studies
Cons: not permitted to work passed course hours
My typical day at work consisted of me monitoring the computer lab, distributing important documents to and from different department officials, receiving phone calls and recording accurate messages, and preparing materials for university scheduled events. I’ve learned that as a student assistant you have agreed to dedicate time to very important individuals – more... and they are holding you accountable to your job duties. I oversaw the operations of the computer lab and ensured the rules were followed by the students utilizing the lab. I got along very well with my co-workers when we were scheduled to work at the same hours but I didn't work with others a lot because class schedules didn't permit us to. There wasn't anything too difficult about my position but it would become a challenge when distributing inventory to Professors when the requested amount of the order was not received. The most enjoyable part of my position was greeting and meeting different people. – less
