Good work/life balance Friendly coworkers Lots of resources and influence Short commute from West Side Nurturing environment

Cons

Closed minded, stuck in old ways Low pay for the area and limited salary increases Hard to advance Highly siloed and excessive bureaucracy Many unprofessional/under-qualified staff members Lots of old fogies who have been in their jobs for 25 years and have no interest in new ideas or interacting with newer/less experienced employees

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.
