Pros

Big university (also a BIG TEN UNIVERSITY), various majors/subjects, many resources from different resource centers and faculties and stuff; Student Research Assistant Salary is relatively higher than similar universities in the same area. Good location to downtown New Brunswick and neighbor to New York City. Football is a big thing here. Very good employee benefits, probably the best in NJ.

Cons

On-campus living expense is expensive. Some department have too many politics and are not put employee or student as their service priority. Many good faculties are leaving to better universities causing the interruption on graduate student's work and study.

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.
