Pros

It's good for resume experience. Working at a school, the environment is nice and you can meet students to make friends.

Cons

Pretty much a source for cheap labor because they always compare you to starving students who would take the job for nothing.

Pros

UCLA has some of the leading professionals in the world in almost any field you choose to pursue a career in.

Cons

Things at UCLA may take longer to process due to the system that is in place. Public schools adhere to more scrutiny.

Pros

As a research assistant, I could work from home or from campus; I had access to the best research sources and technologies, and the job was very interesting. The campus is beautiful and it is a dream place to work if you like research in social sciences.

Cons

No benefit, bad salary, expensive parking, and not rewarded according to your abilities but according to your level of education. I only had a bachelor degree but I was doing the job of a graduate student. Because I was not a graduate student I was not offer another job opportunity once my job ended.
