Pros
- Great supervisors who genuinely cared about their employees and students - Excellent salary and benefits if you are lucky enough to get a permanent full-time job here - You get to be part of a thriving research college environment that consistently hosts community-based events like Rutgers Day.
Cons
- In order to receive the aforementioned excellent salary and benefits, you must be designated a PERMANENT full-timer, not just a TEMPORARY full-timer. Sometimes, the HR office changes this status in the middle of the academic year without informing you. - Rutgers is a large, well-know state employer so there are thousands of other applicants gunning for the same position. In addition, many supervisors already have a candidate in mind but they must still post the job listing online. Even if you are more than qualified for a certain job, it more than likely won't cut it. - In certain departments, there is no upward mobility so you need to find a new job in another department but then you run into the above problem.
