UC Berkeley Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Pension- I qualify for pension benefits. Thats hard to find!

health insurance, pension, vacation, family sick leave

I can choose when I work even if it's last minute

the benefits are the best

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

more time off and possibly a raise

UC Berkeley under this chancellor does not believe in equal pay for equal work.

Post-Doc compensation at UC is competitive with national averages ... while UCB is located in one of the most expensive areas of the country. Would you be happy with 4.5k/month pay (before taxes), if the average 2-bedroom apt near your place of work costs 3.5k/month? I am not.

When I first started working there, I was a lead. I have slipped down the cracks and have a neglected position which is threatening.
