      Pros

      * Jobs tend to be secure * Health care benefits are excellent * Many paid holidays

      Cons

      * Advancement is limited * Compensation is fair (somewhere between poor and good) * Positions tend to be held by lifers who don't seem to have any interest in excellence.

      Benefits and Pay are not competitive

      Pros

      Davis is a lovely town. I like being able to bike commute. The health insurance is good and the employee contribution is small. 15 days of paid vacation is nice.

      Cons

      HR is completely impossible to work with. They are 4 months late on a deadline and have not responded to numerous phone calls and emails from me and my supervisors. The career tracks system sounded like a good idea, but they have not responded to the reclassification requests. There is no maternity leave other than SDI. UC is exempt from the state maternity leave system, so I would get better maternity leave if I worked ANYWHERE else. The salaries are not competitive with the region, and they are doing very little to account for the rapidly increasing cost of living in the Sacramento area. There are no career development opportunities for staff who do research.

      Pros

      Decent benefits, nice people, hard to het fired

      Cons

      HR is undervalued the environment is very negative. Most hate their job. The pay is under market and they pay more for the same job at UCD Health. Yet they say we are the same.
