Horrible work / life balance

Administrative assistant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits 24 hour schedule Great union

Cons

Did not value work / life balance Had to constantly fight with management to follow the law. The supervisors and managers would consistently break the law such as proper breaks and UCLA would adhere to the law but it is a lengthy process to complain about the issue before UCLA learns they are breaking certain laws / codes. You arent allowed to go home if the person reporting to work shows up late even if they are 5/6+ hours late. UCLA does not allow upward movement. If a department is having a hard time recruiting employees or they need you in that role it is highly discouraged to apply to another department and when you do other departments ask if the manager needs you and if they say yes then you will not be hired for the new role.
