Pros

A place with some of the most intelligent people with a great culture of collaboration; it's truly a special place. An incredible health-care system & integration of the health-care system with the research arms.

Cons

Soviet-style behemoth of a bureaucracy is in effect here. Any time you need to get something done you will encounter a niche department staffed with ~8 apparatchiks who will find inventive ways to tell you "no"

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
