Pros

People are friendly and great to work with. They keep you updated with paid trainings and meetings.

Cons

When hiring full-time staff, they tend to be biased in their decisions as I know of a couple full time staff members who should not have been recently hired

Pros

The work is not too difficult, slow movement. All work is manageable, very easy. Great benefits and good hours (adjustable).

Cons

Must deal with students, faculty, and staff. The pay is low, minimum wage. The workload gets busy during the beginning and end of the semester.

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.
