      I have been working at UC San Diego Health full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      Has good benefit depending on when you were hired. Some positions have unions, but still, the unions find hard to for with the strong legal counsel they have. Salaries have shrunk and they pass the benefit cost to the employees year by year.

      Cons

      Upper mobility is very difficult here, especially for the different culture. They talk a lot about diversity but it is only talking. It is a reactionary system in where the employees dont have a win.
      Salaries have shrunk and they pass the benefit cost to the employees year by year. Expect to take home 60% of your salary, the rest goes for benefits; medical insurance, pension, etc.

      Advice to Management

      Identify employees that have made efforts to educate themselves and create programs specifically for these employees, as it is not fair to work side by side with people less educated earning the same.

      Pros

      Campus is gorgeous, people tend to be nice. I think it depends on your boss, but it is a great place that overall looks out for its employees

      Cons

      UCSD tends to put up a fight when negotiating with unions. Also, their great retirement account may be on its way out as they've started promoting a different plan that ends up being less valuable.

      Advice to Management

      More oversight from HR during the start of employment. I had to basically "hire myself"

      Stability if you want to stay on very part time

      Cons

      As optometrist at student health it is a contract job with zero benefits
      They hired a bunch of part times probably to avoid giving benefits if a couple full timers hired
