Pros

Great access to wonderful facilities and equipment. Environment where collaborations do actually flourish. Some undergrads are quite bright and hard working.

Cons

There is an occasional bureaucratic nightmare to deal with. Lots of forms to fill out and incredible hurdles to getting paid as a graduate student. I still don't understand why it takes five employees, several weeks, and a multitude of forms to set up my employment and get direct deposit going.

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

Pros

Working with students is satisfying and fulfilling. It also helps yourself retain information you have learned from past courses.

Cons

The Peer Learning Unit is poorly managed, and it is difficult to communicate with your supervisors.
