Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center

"Childcare is not adequate for the population and may be unaffordable based on your salary. Limited facilities for lactating mothers. Leadership at the president/dean level clearly communicates that diversity, equity and transparency are a new priority but management remains the same old boys/old gals club with very different views. Salaries are below area average and are not consistent across departments, when comparing job titles and education. Promotions and hiring tend to be based on favoritism and referrals by other managers, such as children of employees. My manager, a child of a senior employee, had the lowest educational level among their own staff and average experience. Staff salary levels were kept below the manager’s and no one was promoted above the manager for several years. Staff left the institution regularly. Few new hires come from outside UCLA social circles. Employee satisfaction is measured and published, and differs significantly by race. Leadership does not share these results but, employees can get access to the results. It is not easy to get access to these results."

"be careful with your trust, many established groups who do not want outsiders with experience"

"this is a typical academic setting with some flexibility but not the most progressive policies on maternity/paternity leave "

"No, there are too many women who like to gossip and back stab."

"talk about schedule before you take the job to determine options for flexible scheduling"
