      Pros

      It is helpful - if standard - to offer employment to current graduate students.

      Cons

      It is a giant bureaucracy so everything is managed completely inefficiently. I worked there for 6 months. I signed up for direct deposit in the beginning and it didn't go through until month 5. So I had to collect my paycheck every two weeks and they misplaced them twice and I had to have it reissued once. They deducted for a 401K and didn't tell me, and then cashed it out at the end of my 6 months and then penalized me for cashing it out AND then I had to pay extra taxes on it for the same!! It was $200 and I ended up giving half to UCLA and the Fed. gov't! It's like a scam - why would you set up a 401K for a 3 or 6 month job?

      Pros

      Beautiful campus. Casual work atmosphere. Awesome benefits and retirement package. Many staff work for 20-35 years before retiring.

      Cons

      Salaries are extremely low. Managers are promoted for being performers but don't have very good management skills. Extremely hard to get a raise or increase more than the yearly cost of living increase.
