Pros

Of course the UCLA name sounds good. Marketing does a great job of making the company sound like its the best place to work. In reality it is not, they just do a great job of marketing the brand i must say.

Cons

Low pay; they will not negotiable upon the job offer. Salary was frozen during a pandemic, and expected us to be in person to work. Lots of work; endless work, high stress, union staff call out all the time, and HR does nothing about it (just talk to them), leadership pressure to meet deadlines. Impossible to advance: almost impossible to advance your career here, you must know people in high places, directors and managers who have no experience or dont know what their doing are in these roles. very sad. Don't like the UCLA brand fool you, this is not the place to work. If you make it to the director level, they do pay you well, but is it really worth your life?
