Pros

Absolutely nothing. This place is just awful.

Cons

This place needs to clean house. You have managers who are absolutely abusive to their teams. Managers will talk down to team members, they will send threatening emails and they will talk negatively to team members who are working hard day in and day out. Managers never praise their team and many good employees leave because it is such a toxic environment. Also, this place loves to take advantage of their employees by adding more to employees already full plates. The job description that is provided is not at all accurate. Be prepared to do the job of 3 people for the same salary while managers just criticize everything you do. Managers do not offer any support and you are basically left on your own. No one here is a team player. No one cares about the students. This place is just toxic.

Cons

I have truly wrestled with what to write in this review, as I do believe there have been good aspects of the role over the past 4 years. However, I think prospective employees deserve a clear understanding of the role that is not included in the job description. This is a quota-based role. As a UDR, you are responsible for monthly metrics that must be met. It is a strictly sales job, and those coming from a previous higher education background will soon be shocked. To truly thrive in this role, a sales background is needed and the ability to work 50-plus hours a week. If you do not meet your student enrollments, you will be placed on an improvement plan. If you thrive in a fast-paced setting with continuous pressure to be more and do more, this is the role for you.
