Pros

Great Benefits, room for career growth, and educational advancement.

Cons

Middle and Sr. management position are primarily internal promotions. Higher paying positions above $65,000 are rare due to long term employees who have not retired and minor turnover at the senior management level. Some management skills and technique's need to be updated. Many hourly staff leave the department or UCLA as a whole due to poor management and leadership.

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.
