Pros

Great health, vision, and dental. Great free programs for staff such as tai chi and yoga. People are generally nice.

Cons

Getting paid what your worth is hard to get, many labs try to under pay their employees for their experience. Also the fact that I have to pay $68 dollars a month to park at my own job is completely unreasonable

Pros

UCLA has a beautiful campus, wonderful weather, and is populated by some amazingly intelligent, motivated, hard-working students.

Cons

Job expectations could not be less clear. I'm guessing this is probably because no one in the administration knows what they are either. You are evaluated by sets of committees filled with nameless members whom you never meet. The criterion you are evaluated on are sometimes secret and often contradictory (from committee to committee). The worst part is there is no one to discuss your performance with because you have no idea who will be evaluating you and this will be different every time.
