Pros

Benefits, pay. That’s it. There’s no other pros about this place.

Cons

Most cliquey team that I have ever seen. Management chooses seniority over anything. Policies are unsafe. Lack of resources.

Pros

Salary is probably competitive compared to other academic centers. UCLA Name

Cons

You have to work like in private practice, but make only about half the money. They don't allow you to thrive academically if you don't belong to a small circle of individuals who are friends with the leadership. Therefore, better to work in private practice. I have never experienced such outrageous cronyism as practiced by the self-serving leadership. Frequently, leadership positions in the department are given to individuals whose main qualifications are their connections and/or friendship to the departmental or institutional leadership - without formal job postings, not giving alternative and usually more qualified candidates to apply. This reflects the nepotism in this department and reminds me of tactics used by autocratic rulers whose primary goals are to protect their position and interests.

Pros

The pay is decent at 25+ plus Hourly (Still hard to live comfortably in Los Angeles at that rate and feed a family paying off student debt)

Cons

Micromanagement too the extremely poor Managers who yell at you if you do something wrong and try to embarrass you in front of other employees. They are unaware of how to treat employees fairly which is why the Union protection is a MUST with Ucla Health.
