An awesome opportunity

Pros

As a student, there is great flexibility, and you get to help other students. This leaves you with a "feel-good" attitude, most of the time. I've rarely had any negative encounters with customers, and full-time Rutgers employees in my departments have always been prepared to offer me solid and sound advice.

Cons

Can be difficult to make overall career advancement. Difficult to learn from your peers, as they are the same as you in many ways. For the lowest level positions as a student, the pay is appropriate, but as you accept more responsibility, compensation does not scale up as well.

Pros

If you are here you might end up with a supportive supervisor who understands that not every researcher wants to or is meant to be an academic researcher. You will have the chance to drop of your resume at one of the many companies within driving distance of Piscataway. Make sure you use labrat or biopharmguy as a search tool, do not rely on Indeed.

Cons

Poor infrastructure, bad research funding, work environment can be primitive, e.g. our floor does not even have drinking water, we need to carry it in bottles from another floor. There is no sink to use other than in the restrooms.
