"I have worked for USC for over 10 years and love the working environment here. It is a big organization and each school can have a different experience. I have worked with a lot of departments and found most of them to be pretty professional with good support for their employees."
"I worked at the USC School of Cinematic Art in the World Building Media Lab as a VR Developer. It was an amazing experience, and I got to work in an interdisciplinary environment."
"I've worked for USC as a lab assistant. I worked at the USC AME lab and it was a nice place to work at. The people there are nice and willing to help you out. the working hours and the salary are low but it gives you extra money to spend on food or school material."
"Good place to work as a student"

"I have worked at the University of Southern California since August of 2001. The University has been a great experience for me and many others. We always call it being part of the Trojan family. My tenure at USC will be coming to an end soon due to factors beyond my control. Therefore, it is time for a new chapter and I am looking forward to a new exciting adventure."

"I worked at USC School of Cinematic Arts as a student VR developer since last year. It was a very good lab to work in."
"I have worked for the University of Southern California for nearly 2 years. My previous experiences revolved around my work mainly in the public system. I have learned that the private system has a lot less bureaucracy when it comes to decision making, budget changes, staff development, etc. Though the main issue I have noticed is that USC and many of its programs are dependent on the amount of money donors are giving to specific schools or programs. It can become potentially concerning if donor relations affects the needs of the students. In terms of working here, the benefits at USC are great and the insurance options are great. That being said, the growth rate is low for your salary. With stellar marks on my performance for the last year, I was only able to gain a 1% increase in my salary, and it is expected that I will only gain a 1% increase for the next year. It is quite concerning as it will not a sustainable long term career. You will need to move up within the system in order to get paid more, or use this experience and move to a different job elsewhere. If you want a potentially stepping stone, I would advise you give it a shot. Not to mention traffic getting to work is a bit terrible as well. I drive from orange county every day and it takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to get to work. If you are an older candidate or someone who may possess potential health issues with sitting too long, I would advise moving closer."
"A good lab to work for with great projects. Learned a lot during my time here."
"I am a PhD student at USC. I love research and I do love USC."
