Experience differ based on PhD Program - Avis employé PhD Student - Stipend Rutgers University

Lab teaching assistant. Need to responsible for the lab progress, reviewing lab report.

very busy during the lab and tiring.

co-workers are super nice, friendly and collaborative. Good flexibility in work arrangements. My immediate boss is nice.

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.
