Pros
(Some) talented and diligent department work colleagues. The professors. The alums.
Cons
I invite readers of these Glassdoor reviews to access the websites of UCLA colleges and their development (i.e., fundraising) departments. "Surface" the names and job titles of the fundraisers. (You might even get head shots.) Then ask yourself: do you see gender parity among their fundraisers? The fundraisers skew heavily female. In a contemporary workplace world of college graduates that is closer to a 50:50 gender ratio. Next, look up their Linkedin profiles. Access their educational attainment. Do you see a diversity of colleges and universities as their alma maters? No. UCLA disproportionately hires its own alums into their development departments. Where's the EEOC hiring diversity? The lack of hiring discrimination? "Alums hire alums." As a consequence, fresh thinking and new ideas and new practices never germinate. Groupthink and mediocrity are allowed to grow like kudzu.
