Pros

During my time as an undergraduate student I consequently worked in multiple different departments at UCLA. HR managed this extremely efficiently. Even in the humanities, there are several paid research opportunities that give you access to researchers/professors that are well-respected in their fields.

Cons

Hours per week expectations may be hard to manage. Be clear about your work availability and ask for flexibility during exam periods.

Pros

Good hours, flexible to student time schedule, allowed me to do homework on the job

Cons

Sometimes, other students don't take your full shift and leave like 30 mins of your shift if you give it up

Pros

Great health insurance - I'm told it's really quite fire (no lie) Great location - love Westwood (sandwiched by Brentwood, Bel Air, and Beverly Hills) Union is tremendously supportive

Cons

Campus dining options are kinda weak - breaks my heart to eat the same thing every day
