Ucpath-Center,-University-of-California

Working at the UCPath Center is filled with new experiences and exciting challenges, as we're a "startup" service center for the University of California. 

I am proud to work for UC and feel appreciated for my work/contribution to help the UCPath Center meet its goals.  

I've been given many opportunities to lead/create new projects/opportunities and have found that there's a lot of room for growth and development .  I like to work in a fast paced environment that keeps me challenged --and this is that kind of place!  I've learned much more than I could have imagined  in the almost two years that I've worked here.  It's great working for a hardworking, dedicated group of people who are focused on making university operations more streamline and collaborative.  This is also a fun place to work -- our team is outgoing, engaging and management finds value/supports a work/life balance.  Plus, my salary and benefits are competitive. 

I moved to Riverside County from Los Angeles about 4 years ago and at first, was hesitant to make the Inland Empire my home.  That all changed as soon as explored the area.  This is really a great place to live and work.  We have a very nice community, affordable housing, great public schools and I don't commute anymore (which has given me back 3 hours a day of my life).

When I first began my employment with UCPath, I felt excited about working for an organization that encouraged diversity and inclusivity while promising career path engagement and advancement opportunities. UCPath had a reputation for providing a positive workplace culture and I felt privileged to be part of a company that represented this mission. 

This couldn’t be further from the truth today. The culture has significantly changed over the last couple of years along with change in leadership. Racial discrimination and favoritism is apparent and there is no advocacy for non-union represented employees. Quantity is preferred over quality when meeting workload demands and intimidation tactics are used when concerns are raised. There is no sense of community and many employees are fearful of retaliation from supervision and management. 

As a recent transplant to Riverside, I am lucky to have found employment at the UCPath Center. The location is secure, clean, and well managed. I enjoy the relaxed culture that is focused more on getting the job done rather than how you look while doing the job. The business casual environment helps me be myself and find comfort in my environment. As a part of the Benefits team, I have the best coworkers in the building. Just kidding. All of my interactions have been great, including those with members outside of my team. 

The hardest part of the job is the sheer volume of knowledge that needs to be mastered. It is a startup environment with a lot of moving and interconnected parts. So, it is a must that you understand how things relate to each other. The Center does a great job of easing you into your work, and training you on your tasks.

Overall, I really liked the people I worked with. There were challenges with the management team. I could attribute this to the UCPath being a startup operation, however, there were organization culture issues that needed to be addressed.

I took the job at UCPath Center because I thought it would be a great opportunity to be part of something new and different, and possibly allow some promotional opportunities as I rounded out my career with the University of California.

Unfortunately, I did not stay as long as I would have liked due to organization culture differences.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They offer hybrid work, 3 days in the office and 2 days remote. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I was a contractor and I felt like I was not worth anything there. The contractors come and go, but are not considered as an employee. Trying to get a permanent job after doing the work for months/years is not easy and is not taken into consideration what you have put into it.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I felt it was very cliquey, you had the "groups" that stuck together and others were outsiders not welcome. Kind to your face....

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I felt very micro-managed a lot.

I transferred from Cal State to UCPath Center about 6 months ago. This was the best decision I have make in my entire career. Workplace culture doesn't get much than at UCPath. They really know how to keep a great work life balance and treat their employees really well.  Everyone is so welcoming and everyone seems genuinely happy to be coming to work everyday. The atmosphere is extremely open and collaborative. The training programs for new hires is amazing and well put together. Their is so much opportunity for growth and personal development. 

I recommend working here to anyone!

I enjoy working at UCPath and I feel like I am contributing to a great purpose and getting a well rounded job experience. Like any company ther is room for improvements but overall my. experience there have been positive and rewarding. Working for the UC system is the best experience as an employee.  The benefits,  holidays  and pay are the best, especially in the Inland Empire . I am so happy that I work for such an amazing organization. Now for the cons-
Sr. Management not always the best. Lots of nepotism and favoritism and good people getting overlooked for advancement opportunities in favor of for sub par candidates. 


The company as a whole was not horrible but I think what lacks is, they don't hear their employees. They advertise diversity and it is definitely diverse yet still robotic and so set in their ways that they don't listen to the concerns of the employees. Everybody pretty much shows up does their job and goes home, everything is robotic, repetitive and work life balance did not exist. It is to my understanding that some of that has changed which is great if so! but I noticed during my time there that employees just were not happy! everything is so scripted that the moral and dynamic just don't feel genuine. 

Working at the UCPath Center has made me discover a whole new meaning to being appreciated at the workplace as well as knowing there is an opportunity to grow professionally. 
By participating in new projects one finds that there's a lot of room for growth and development . This shared service is fast paced and keeps all the staff busy and challenged.  
This organization is fun to work at. The different work-streams work collaboratively and are outgoing. Salary and benefits are competitive.
Couldn't ask to work in a better place!
