Pros

The benefits of working at UCLA and UCLA Extension in particular are plentiful. Access to free or discounted classes at UCLA Extension and the possibility of completing a certificate program. Full medical, dental, vision and retirement plan are good if you stay and become a vested employee. For the most part, jobs are quite secure for existing positions.

Cons

The pay is not competitive and is based on state budgets. Even at UCLA Extension, which is self-sustaining. There are no bonuses. Promotional opportunities only arise when someone leaves.

Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

A colleague was laid off today. She was with UCLA for 10+ years. She got a meeting invite with 10 minutes notice. Her Director read out a cold statement that her position was eliminated and handed her over to the HR. Her manager came running to her cubicle and told her she had 2 minutes to pack up and leave. He insisted that he accompanied her to her car. Many other colleagues had similar or worse experiences. All Managers and Directors and above saved their jobs. And they sacrificed many individual contributors.
