Pros

They make you go home when you reach a 40 hour work week.

Cons

There are many... Employees, including managers, are constantly coming and going-- some are talented and get sick of the culture, management, and graduates while others never had the skill set necessary to be successful and get run off due to performance issues. At the end of the day this is a sales job that almost requires you to be a con artist-- straight cold calling medical facilities and begging them to interview, on average, incompetent graduates (apparently the school has no enrollment standards other than qualifying for a loan). In the end, this is a failed career move for me and many others seem to share my feelings for one reason or another. If you are considering a career with UMA I give you a strong word of caution-- save yourself the headache and find yourself a better company with real leaders and a strong product you can be proud of.

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.
