Pros

It is a job where you get to interact with a lot of young people and some of those interactions can be very fulfilling.

Cons

No raises for the last 3 years, declining benefits (403b contribution dropped by 70% in Jul 2015), horrible systems, dated management philosophies and expectations that you do even more work (over normal working hours) for less pay and benefits. I'm sure more people would complain about the things that go on at Rider (and the things long term employees get away with) but the HR office is feckless and seemingly completely engaged in protecting the university versus protecting the worker.

Once a great place to work...

Pros

Excellent faculty and the school provides a worthwhile education. Tuition rates are competitive for students. Excellent tuition remission program for eligible employees and their families.

Cons

The school is in financial turmoil....has been for several years. The impact on employees has been significant - cuts to benefits, salaries, hiring freezes. Top administrators make high six figure salaries while under performing. Not a great place to work.
