Pros

The best part of working here were the people. The overall environment is very uplifting and encouraging; I don't think I ever had a bad interaction with co-workers or other personnel. Its also located in a beautiful area, with the Rose Garden, USC, and Coliseum within a 5 minute walk.

Cons

The CSC lacks competitive pay and career growth opportunities; the hardest part for me was leaving to pursue better career opportunities.
