      Dusty - Instructional Designer Princeton University Employee Review

      Pros

      Good pay and good brand name on your resume.

      Cons

      A toxic bureaucratic work culture that hoards the best opportunities and treatment for a select few. The administrations does nothing to promote equitable pedagogical strategies (they say they do though) - but, the institution doesn't embrace instructional designers as a valuable resource to promote better teaching and enhance student experiences.

      Pros

      Incredible benefits, worth 40% of your salary. So much time off it's hard to use. Great health care, 36 hour work week (if your boss doesn't make you work more), slow-paced.

      Cons

      So much time off it's hard to use it all without losing it with annual rollover caps. Pay is terrible. In theory, you come for the benefits and the lighter, less frenetic workload but that very much depends on who your boss is and what team you work for. I worked for a very mismanaged research center where my manager expected everyone to be available 24 hours a day. Most PU departments operate at a snail's pace, no sense of urgency even on urgent things. Independent faculty doing cool things but the institution is very lowercase c conservative. No pathway for advancement, especially on smaller teams.
