I have been working at Los Angeles USD full-time for more than 8 years
Pros – The benefits are amazing. No monthly health insurance premiums (if union member). As an analyst, the work is challenging enough to keep you busy and learning, but not as stressful as the private sector based on my experience.
Cons – Huge bureacracy so it may be difficult to advance, but I believe if you put in the time and work hard you can advance.
Advice to Senior Management – Management has been very fair and personable in the division I work. Continue to keep employees advised of updates thru the employee website and newsletters.

I have been working at Los Angeles USD full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – It's a great job to have and there are many opportunities for advancement
Cons – I feel that there is a lack of communication and understanding between the District and constituents which leads to people being unhappy with funding, etc
Advice to Senior Management – The District needs to get out of the adult mentality that everyone is going to college, work on bringing back vocational programs and also work on explaining the budget to constituents more so that they are not upset or confused by certain ballot measures.
