      Flexible schedule, but comes with a heavy workload

      Pros

      Great benefits. Flexible work schedules.

      Cons

      Things can pile on your desk can start to pile up.. of course this is dependent on the department you're in. If you're serving 50-70 faculty and some staff members(like I did), then you can start to feel overwhelmed. I was an administrative assistant, but I should have been labeled as a faculty assistant as I was heavily involved with the faculty and their day to day requests. I also felt like a business assistant with the amount of accounting I was doing for the requests that came through. I think Rutgers needs to have clearer job titles going forward as the administrative assistant role can mean anything there.

      Pros

      Good Employee Benefits, Paid for NJ PTC Certification

      Cons

      Long hours, hire turnover. Very PC department, School Administration holds back officers from actually doing their job. Working in high crime areas i.e Newark, Camden and New Brunswick while having your hands tied is also fun.
