Pros

Great Benefits as a part of the UC system. Great people.

Cons

Horrible pay. Don't expect raises beyond the cost of living adjustment. With the good people also come the bad ones. The ones that make you think how have they kept their job the past few years. The ones that in any normal private corporation they would have been immediately let go after the first 6-12 months. They are the ones who put the drag team morale. The only way to move up is to keep jumping department ships which is bad in general for UCLA

Pros

Decent benefits, but not really as great as everyone assumes. Some colleagues who really care and do great work. Impressive students.

Cons

Relatively poor pay and pay inequities. Extremely poor fiscal management - that CFO who was fired for outing it was spot on. Senior administrators and faculty are incentivized to spend a lot of money on things that serve few students and hoard resources to make themselves look good for performance reviews and tenure committees, but it means a lot of extra work gets dumped on a growing a number of mid-level administrators and support staff - who now face layoffs or added workloads. It's all strangling the university's ability to serve its students, but I know several faculty members simply don't care about students or teaching.
