Pros

Great university and great facilities. A lot of great extra benefits come with working for UCLA. Discount to membership to the wooden center gym which is right on campus is a plus. Excellent job security, provided that you do your job of course.

Cons

Budget cuts just effected employees' phone plans -- text messaging were canceled and we have to pay partly for our phone.

Pros

Intellectual oasis ! There is always the possibility to meet some professors from any field of interests. Libraries are wonderful, no need to use amazon.com.

Cons

Slow promoting competent people. This is not a financial fast track. Too low salaries for the west side of Los Angeles.

Pros

I went to UCLA as an undergrad so staying on campus was nice. It allowed me to continue to feel connected as I figured out what I wanted to do. It gave me time to earn an income while assess my career options. I was able to implement some positive changes during my time, which first started in my department then was rolled out to the entire campus.

Cons

I feel that being a state job, employees didn't feel compelled to help make the work environment better, by finding better, faster, or less expensive ways to accomplish things. I don't enjoy environments where I get promoted just by seniority.
