Pluspunten

- UC-wide benefits great if you have family. - Job title was union represented (which looks like the campus is trying to move people away from). - Work-life balance (but this has noticably declined with increased workloads and staffing levels)

Minpunten

For a university in such a busy urban metropolis. They pay as if you were a university in a rural town while still expecting everyone to make the hour plus long commute onto campus, Parking is also paid out of your own pocket. So you are required spend a chunk of your fuel, time, and money just getting to & from work while not being paid enough to afford rent decently within the vicinity. Many people are SPOOKED with the new IT restructuring and if they will have jobs in the next year or two. There is an unspoken "downsizing" that is happening the administration won't admit. Employees are being asked to reapply for their jobs but it is being reframed as an "opportunity" for growth for everyone. Simple yes or no questions are side-stepped with "We will support our staff with the transition". That in itself is quite the clear answer on how they intend to treat staff.

Pluspunten

Decent benefits, but not really as great as everyone assumes. Some colleagues who really care and do great work. Impressive students.

Minpunten

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.
