Pros

Not really any outside of name recognition on your resume.

Cons

As an administrative position, you constantly feel like you're working in quicksand. HR doesn't care about you and the system is just too big to function well within. Most people within the school I worked in were miserable and I've formed lasting friendships based in the collective trauma we experienced working there. Experiences could be different based on which school you work at vs working for central UCLA, but it doesn't change the fact that you just feel like a cog in the machine. One of the worst places I've ever worked.

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.
