Pros

I went to UCLA as an undergrad so staying on campus was nice. It allowed me to continue to feel connected as I figured out what I wanted to do. It gave me time to earn an income while assess my career options. I was able to implement some positive changes during my time, which first started in my department then was rolled out to the entire campus.

Cons

I feel that being a state job, employees didn't feel compelled to help make the work environment better, by finding better, faster, or less expensive ways to accomplish things. I don't enjoy environments where I get promoted just by seniority.

Extremely innovative environment and great collaborations within the university and beyond
