Pros

Pay and Benefits have improved with the union $39.2k/yr starting. Living in the Family housing (if you have a significant other and/or kids) also really can save you a lot of money on rent for up to two years and is very convenient to walk/bike to work. The southern California Climate is great. Summers are not nearly has hot as many people say and dry heat.

Cons

Some people lover Riverside. I do not. Air quality is poor in the summer and unless you like desert "beauty" then for most of the year it is an ugly place to live. The UC campus is nice though. The cons of being a postdoc... well if you don't know you aren't one.
