Pros

Most of the people who work at UCR are interesting, friendly, and committed. A lot depends on who your boss is, but most are very flexible and accommodating, and generally people who do a good job get recognized (though perhaps not monetarily). Leadership has generally been pretty sensible, at least in the post-Chancellor-Cordova era. Great benefits, too.

Cons

You probably won't make as much at UCR as at a private company, particularly if you're hired immediately after graduating. Less-qualified people who are brought in from the outside will make more than people who have been around a long time; sometimes the only way to get a raise is to leave.

Pros

The benefits are very good, and the work/life balance is respected. The people are friendly and cordial for the most part.

Cons

Not a lot of potential for job growth. They keep you at your level, and will pass you up for promotions if you are not what they visually see as fit for the position. They will keep you on contract for many years if you do not threaten them with leaving. They will also dump you with a horrible position if you do not make a move for a better one. You also have to deal with many "anti-social" co-workers under technology. Many don't even say hello, and you have to watch who you even say hello too unless you want to get snubbed because of their shyness. This is my experience with working under technology. This may differ depending on the group you work under at UC Riverside.
