      UCR student lead position

      Student lead
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I have enjoyed my time working for the dining services at UCR. I am aware I lucked out into one of the easier dining areas that require less work than the dining halls. The management team has always been welcoming and friendly, making the environment a place to look forward to. Pay periods are every two weeks which helps if there is one or two weeks per month with less hours. The management is very considerate and understanding of changes in schedules due to student status and will do what they can to help accommodate the changes.

      Cons

      The pay is minimum wage and hard to support yourself on your own with just that. Being part time limits the hours available, leaving many people trying to get more.

      Great UC union bargaining

      Postdoctoral fellow
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      As most academic positions, your experience is very variable based on the professor or principal investigator you're working directly under. I had a great experience with mine and stayed much longer than I had anticipated because I enjoyed it so much. Healthcare was subpar compared to when I was promoted to staff scientist (Kaiser) but you'll have access to discounted family housing and childcare as a post-doc. The salary is quite good compared to what is received nationwide and increases stepwise each year. Also generous sick leave and PTO.

      Cons

      Childcare options limited in the area HMO is Southern California generally not good Do not accept a contract longer than a year which will lock you into a salary because the union bargains frequently for increases which you won't be eligible for later.
