Pros

They pay fairly well. It can be a fun environment at times, and there are some members of management that are truly there to do the right thing.

Cons

Unfortunately, some individuals move up through the ranks with no training, coaching or guidance on the right way to lead (not just the UMA way). Middle management is often kept in the dark and end up looking clueless due to the fact that most senior management doesn't have it together and their communication is sub par at best. There is quite a bit of untapped talent on the advisor level but management us usually too busy putting out their own fires that they have no time to develop their people. In the end, all parties suffer, including the grads. It's mostly an unprofessional work environment, where people with little to no previous management experience are running a large operation, and advisors are left to act however they like, as long as they hit their numbers. Members of management act out and are rewarded by getting promoted.

Pros

Overtime available, when need it

Cons

The work environment was highly scripted, making it difficult to build genuine rapport with prospective students. Employees were expected to follow approved scripts very closely, and even small deviations could be treated as compliance issues. At the same time, compliance expectations were not always clearly communicated, which created unnecessary stress. Management felt overly focused on micromanagement, contributing to a high-pressure work environment. During my time there, I also heard a prospective student comment on what they perceived as a lack of diversity within the organization, which stood out to me. Overall, I found the culture stressful and inflexible. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this employer to those looking for a supportive workplace with clear expectations and the flexibility to communicate authentically.
