Business outlook
Pros
UC Davis offers a generous benefits package to all employees, including health, dental and vision all covered for as low as $6.50 out of pocket. You can also find relative job stability/security, particularly if your job is protected in a union.
Cons
Unfortunately, you can also expect low pay (relative to private industry), slow career advancement, and no incentive for hard work. Like most jobs associated with the state government, promotions are based on time served (and occasionally favoritism) rather than ability or achievements. Recently, even cost of living raises were suspended, effectively halting the only form of raises some employees will ever see.
