Pros

Lower cost of living than L.A. Close to L.A. and Orange County. Can live near campus

Cons

This is a terrible place for business faculty. Heavy teaching load, large classes, little support. Strong senior faculty and good dean left because they were harassed by the senior administration for trying to create a good business school. Really weak senior faculty are left and they abuse the junior faculty. The larger campus and senior administration use the business school to generate cash to support other parts of campus and low teaching loads for favored units like the sciences.

Pros

Good flexibility, good benefits, excellent if you're looking to make some money while taking classes. Always work around my class schedule.

Cons

Low pay. The benefits for part time are okay, but the low pay does not make up for it. In my three years here I never got a raise, despite my excellent work.

Pros

-convenience is number one, on campus where classes are -flexible work hours to fit around classes -many different jobs available to students on campus -can be hired full time for summer Working on campus as a student worker is what you make of it. I've gained many responsibilities and usable job skills by simply being willing to try, and to learn new things and accept new projects. There are many departments to work for as a student- recreation center, accounting, audit, IT, dining, etc. It's a good way to get job experience while in school, ideally in your area of study, while only having to drive to one place every day and having flexibility of working between classes.

Cons

-constant workplace politics (however, where doesn't have this problem) -lower pay -no benefits for "student workers" even when working full time

Supportive PI

Pros

Finding a supportive professor for whom you can work consistently in a volunteer capacity until they are willing to pay you is not always easy, but I have experienced it personally and have friends who have had the same experience.

Cons

You may not work more than 19 hours a week as a paid student researcher. This means that if a project you must work on requires more than that the extra time isn't paid. Usually, though, with classes on board it is difficult to work 19 hours anyway.
