Pros

Great Science programs that are quickly growing. Good location, close to NYC, Princeton, PA, but away from the crowd. Very diverse campus, so no one feels like an outsider.

Cons

Pay and benefits are not good at all. Graduate student offices in some departments have limited resources and technology. If using the bus system, during the semester it is inconveniently crowded by undegraduate students, and during vacations, it runs every 30-45 minutes, so a 5 minute commute becomes a 1 hour or more commute. Finally, Livingston campus is depressing. The New Brunswick area also needs to continue evolving.

Pros

co-workers are super nice, friendly and collaborative. Good flexibility in work arrangements. My immediate boss is nice.

Cons

Morale is quite low, and turnover is high. We are losing good people and goals are not being met. Senior Leader tell us to do more with less, and do not want constructive feedback. They don't lead by example, taking elaborate trips instead of being present and supporting staff. Rules don't apply to them. So disappointing, not what you would expect from a public university.
