Pros

The professors I work for are very knowledgeable and organized. I enjoy the research I do and teaching students in lab classes. The career services at Rutgers are also very nice and helpful.

Cons

I am personally not a fan of the location. New Brunswick is a town dominated by undergraduates, a lot of whom love to drink and party. Also, many of the students are not very motivated to learn, which can make teaching them difficult and tiresome.

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.
