Pros

UCLA offers a great benefits package including a pension. I would recommend it as a good place to retire from. The pay is not as great as the private sector but the job security can't be beat. I will likely return here at a later stage in my career. It is great to be in the university environment. It is a diverse community with people from all races, nationalities, ages and disciplines. There are so many departments that if you are not comfortable in there is plenty of opportunity to move around. Good career advancement structure provides well-defined paths to advance your career.

Cons

On a strict salary basis, the pay is not as attractive as private sector. Parking is expensive.

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.
