Pros
Working in the arts on interesting and engaging projects.
Cons
Many staff jobs require advanced degrees, such as a masters. But they only offer part-time positions with no benefits. I have had difficulty in the lengthy hiring process. It was difficult seeking help when I hadn't been paid months after being hired. The university may be a good place to work for full-time administrative staff and faculty, but most of the interactions with students and actual work and teaching is done by part-time lecturers and staff who work multiple part-time jobs at handfuls of institutions... many times making less than 30k a year. This is a problem with trends in higher education in general, but specifically at Rutgers more so than many other institutions I have experience with.
