Pros

Working as a student employee at UCR is amazing because the environment is a wonderful one and the people are extremely kind.

Cons

One challenge of working in dining services is the scheduling conflicts that occur with work and school. Sometimes, the supervisors do not respect our wishes for scheduling problems.

Pros

I worked here for 2 and 1/2 months during summer 2017. Great Supervisor Super easygoing position. I could work as many hours I wanted because it was a summer position. If I needed to take a day off I got it cleared pretty easily; though, I didn't take a ton of advantage of this because I wanted the hours. Great position for gaining office experience. And, they added tasks that aligned with my major/concentration. Was able to take free online courses to build my skills during slow days. Administrative staff is very friendly and supportive. Great position for making connections.

Cons

Days could get really slow, but I was allowed to redirect my focus elsewhere if necessary.

lies and favoritism

Pros

pension, most co workers are great

Cons

management lies to you, IT rationalization = layoffs. moving everyone into different support roles causing chaos for the divisions/customers you support. no opportunity to move up or grow as there is favoritism where posted jobs are already filled by their "golden boys". you can't get ahead unless you're in the old boys club. laying off staff due to being 2+ million over budget, yet hiring contractors and opening up the same positions you just laid off a couple months later.
