Pros

Amazing benefits and pension plan.

Cons

The opportunity for growth here is nonexistent. Your yearly raises are only 3% and management is completely checked out. The interview process averages about 3-4 months from when you apply to when you actually receive an offer. If you do get an offer it’ll be under market value for your position. Most employees have worked here for decades without any promotions and are miserable, they only stay for the benefits and pension. I personally don’t think the pension is worth staying the 5yr vesting period. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else

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.
