Pros

Relaxed atmosphere with little stress. The job was simple and it was just a part-time gig, and the people were nice.

Cons

The work was pretty tedious, it was mostly data-entry but this was the task that was expected from the beginning.

Pros

Rutgers has easy hours, generous benefits package negotiated by the union, and a relatively transparent pay-grade system that can help you move up

Cons

Rutgers has overwhelming bureaucracy that can sometimes make things move at a snails' pace. This very same bureaucracy can make it very hard to dismiss mediocre workers and to hire replacements.

Pros

This is a state job. There is some sense of stability. Many people are staying here for many years. There is an opportunity to teach medical students and residents, to do research, to get involved in clinical trials. Got sport facilities. Close to train station and 55 min from NY downtown by train. Many nice townships are around.

Cons

Low compensation, some beurocracy. It may take many month to get something approved. We have had no salary increase since 2009. It does not look that things are going to improve due to dependence on state and decreasing funding from all sources (state, NIH, private funds)
