Pros

It was really hands on and gave me a lot of opportunity to learn and grow on my own. My boss gave me a chance to plan multiple larger events and although it was difficult, it was extremely fun.

Cons

I had very little guidance. Most of the time I had to figure it out by myself. At the time, I work with two other part-time students to make sure all our events pulled through. I went in being told I only needed to work 10-12 hours a week but ended up being there more so than going to class so I could get things done. After a year, I decided to leave along with the other two part-time students and I heard they then decided to hire four additional people (three of which are full time workers ) to do the work that the three of us did. I felt underpaid and overworked.

Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

A colleague was laid off today. She was with UCLA for 10+ years. She got a meeting invite with 10 minutes notice. Her Director read out a cold statement that her position was eliminated and handed her over to the HR. Her manager came running to her cubicle and told her she had 2 minutes to pack up and leave. He insisted that he accompanied her to her car. Many other colleagues had similar or worse experiences. All Managers and Directors and above saved their jobs. And they sacrificed many individual contributors.
