Pros

Life as a doctoral student is really rewarding here. There are a lot of resources at Rutgers to help with research, writing, and presenting. There are also a lot of opportunities throughout the school that you might not get anywhere else. The campus culture is unique as well!

Cons

Rutgers is a big school, and so it's easy to get overwhelmed and lost in all of the bureaucracy and politics. Fellows could be treated much better as far as benefits go. As of writing this review, fellows do not get the same healthcare benefits that TAs and GAs do.

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.
