Relationship building is key. Team more than individual culture. Don't upset the status quo. Understand the politics. - Project Manager UCLA Employee Review

Pros

Ample vacation/sick. Can use vacation. Hard work is recognized. Opportunities to grow. Discount off of tuition. Open to change in some departments. Regular hours in most departments.

Cons

Increased pension contributions each year without regular raises to offset this and inflation. 8% of salary before taxes now taken to contribute to pension. Pension is a great option if you plan stay 5+ years, however, with that same amount you could invest on your own so not as much of a benefit as it once was. No paid maternity. Very political.

Meaningful Work Great Colleagues Great Benefits Beautiful Campus

Cons

Pay is low, and grows very slowly Upward mobility is very restricted Upper Administration doesn't seem to value work they don't understand, or employees they don't see, and thus eliminate or consolidate positions or duties in the name of cost cutting and efficiency
