I worked at Princeton University full-time
Pros
Good benefits. Overall responsive bureaucracy.
Cons
Though responsive, the bureaucracy remains oblivious to the experiences of individuals not of high socioeconomic status, making it difficult for certain needs to be acknowledged or met.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Princeton University part-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Princeton is generous to graduate students. Teaching requirements are very moderate, even light. The stipend makes it possible to live comfortably, and additional fellowship opportunities are always available. The library resources are breathtaking. I have had the best heath care of my life.
Cons
The academic life is not for everyone, and jobs are not easy to come by! I worry that when I leave Princeton I will feel deprived anywhere else.
Advice to Management
Please continue expanding support for first-generation students and students of color. Also, keep expanding the opportunities for graduate students to experience various aspects of university employment, not just teaching. Finally, I sure hope all the amazing support staff are well compensated and happy.
