      Good work/life balance, professional development opportunities, but lacking in career paths

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nice campus environment (if you work on campus - but many positions are located off-campus), availability of convenient university resources (library, rec center, shops and dining, entertainment). The department in which you work is what determines your actual work environment and conditions - and this can vary greatly.

      Cons

      If you are in a screwed-up department, poor leadership, office politics and completely ineffective work processes may drive you crazy. Don't expect a raise - no raises since 2005, and those were only about 2%. Fight hard for a high starting salary because that's where you'll be for years.

      Pros

      good pay for on campus job great management you get to meet a lot of very diverse and accomplished people

      Cons

      you have to work on saturdays a lot, and around finals scheduling can be tight, there is a little bit of micro-managing but overall not bad

      It all depends on the supervisor

      Pros

      You can find great resources: library access, gym access, etc. You can make appointments with many renown and senior professors with the title of UCLA if they may not pay attention to your inquiry otherwise.

      Cons

      If you work for professor's project, and the project is already defined, you have to make sure that you are the best fit for the project. It's a tough time in economy, so you want a job, but you should not get a job that does not fit with the subject (again, defined by the professor, not by you) or with the supervisor.
