Pros

Great pay and fun environment (at least it was)

Cons

UMA is fun but very unprofessional. It is a good job to get if you are in between jobs or while you are looking for something more secure. You will never know whether or not you will have your job the next day, everything is ran through favoritism, and in the end of the day they do not CARE about their students. All they care about is keeping their accreditation and will teach you to do whatever means necessary to "place" graduates into minimum wage jobs that they could have gotten without their overpriced diploma. UMA is a complete joke and could never be a creditable work environment if they keep treating PEOPLE like they are dispensable. First job ever that I walked out without giving notice and never thought twice about my decision.

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.
