Pros

Smart people, great job, great benefits, very stable. Truly enjoyed my 4 years here. Very intresting and dynamic environment.

Cons

Pay check to pay check with heavy UC imposed restrictions on pay that make it impossible to move up. I waited a year for a promotion and then was told due to new UC restrictions that I would not recieve any extra pay from the title change.

Pros

Great health insurance - I'm told it's really quite fire (no lie) Great location - love Westwood (sandwiched by Brentwood, Bel Air, and Beverly Hills) Union is tremendously supportive

Cons

Campus dining options are kinda weak - breaks my heart to eat the same thing every day

Pros

Working with students is satisfying and fulfilling. It also helps yourself retain information you have learned from past courses.

Cons

The Peer Learning Unit is poorly managed, and it is difficult to communicate with your supervisors.
