Pros

Its a fairly easy job. You most deal with paper work and mail. You do a few key audits here and there but they are straight forward.

Cons

It gets boring after some time, because you are basically doing the same thing over and over again. I would ask to get more of a role in the whole office, but not in your first year.

Pros

I enjoy working in a place that has a climate of high quality and solid ethics. Everyone I have met has a genuine interest in doing the best job possible.

Cons

Some of the approaches to education are rather old-school, and there is a great deal of inertia and resistance to change - even if it's positive change.

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.
