Pros

I like worked work at the library because it was a good experience in having work freedom from strict supervisors.

Cons

There is no real budget, some of the supervisors there might even be laid off sometime soon, not reliable as a means of real work.

Pros

--Enormous pride in serving the largest public university system in the country --Interaction with energized students and brilliant faculty --Established organization throughout the State of California --Very good recognition in all market sectors: government, business, international

Cons

--Sudden layoffs, firings, "non-retentions" --Constant threat of unpaid furloughs, salary reductions --Fortress mentality, us-against-them --With the California budget picture being what it is now, CSUCO is a bitterly gloomy and administratively rigid work environment
