The time I had for commuting was given back by telecommuting which was a relief. My team had daily team meetings which reassured me how UC San Diego would proceed in regards to COVID-19, how the students may be impacted and what we as employees were able to help. Working with other managers that worked at UC San Diego for a decade or two was very pleasant. My daily tasks were micromanaged from day one Health Insurance is pretty good. Culture and work atmosphere is not comfortable or pleasant when being managed by a micromanager 0.0 0.0 4.0 3.0 4.0 3.0 4.0 3.0 Feb 2nd, 2021 05:42PM Mar 19th, 2021 07:54PM University of California, San Diego

Very stable and accommodating work culture, but not a lot.of.room for movement. They won't give you more responsibility than your job description explicitly requires, which gets old.

Funding situations can have great influence on the science that you do and your job security.

private:universityofcaliforniasandiego https://www.indeed.com/cmp/uc-san-diego/reviews Oct 11th, 2020 12:00AM Open Open Open UC San Diego Student Services Advisor La Jolla, CA USA Good health benefits is the only consistent good aspect Anyone who's worked here long enough knows to ask around about what are the toxic departments and people to avoid, if they wish to remain and move around for advancement purposes, or to get away from an existing toxic environment. What can I say, management sets the tone for any organization and our current chancellor was sued was a senior staff person for discrimination. The lawsuit has been settled, so the person got some monetary settlement. It's a very large organization, so it's a matter of luck if you land in a hospitable setting or crazy setting, in terms of boss and co-workers. But I've experienced and heard enough horror stories. There's a lot of lip service given to employee retention and job satisfaction, but there is also a lot of entrenched bias and discrimination because managers and higher-ups can act with impunity if they have enough clout and/or bring in $$ to the university through research grants or other efforts. Faculty and senior people can treat staff and students like serfs and little is done about it.

But I always enjoyed the environment and my direct supervisor was a very upbeat person and a great listener. I was paid well, considering the type of work I did. It was also great to be automatically included in the university 403(b) plan. 0.0 0.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 Feb 2nd, 2021 05:42PM Mar 19th, 2021 08:00PM University of California, San Diego
