Pros

UCLA as an employer has great access to health care via the university's strong medical program, lots of interesting events at work (on campus), and excellent coverage and benefits inclusive of the LGBT community.

Cons

The university is very large, so bureaucracy runs rampant. If you have a problem, you usually have to contact multiple departments or personnel to get it taken care of. When I was working here as a graduate student, I ran into problems consistently with getting paid or reimbursed.
