Pros
As an Online Admissions Advisor there is no limit to your success. You alone hold the value to your achievements. There are many opportunities to advance, grow and strengthen your career goals. I have been an employee for 10months so far at UMA and I must say I have never grown so rapidly or felt more welcome with a company. Not only do we help students change THEIR lives, we also have the chance to change our own with the outstanding opportunites. UMA has unmatchable energy and enthusiasm from the staff straight to our students. We are a family and with family/teamwork you can accomplish greatness. I personally continue to experience extra activities hosted by UMA, such as: Breast Cancer Awareness Walks, Club Sport events, Holiday events, etc... UMA not only supports their employees and offers benefits but also provides excellence in the comunity. I am able to balance my work life as well my personal life with the flexibility of our schedules. It's great to have a sense of freedom and not feel like you are being micromanaged while in the work place like most careers. However, there are times when you may need to stay late or come in early for student appointments. If you ever have the opportinuty to become a UMA employee, don't let it slip!
Cons
Honestly, the only challenge you may encounter here at UMA is letting yourself get the best of you. Along with high energy and excitement comes the stress of meeting a company goal and personal goal. You must stand up to company expectations and try your hardest to exceed them. For me, I have an outstanding work ethic and know what needs to get done and I do it without hesitation. If you are lazy, a procrastinator or just don't really care; then UMA may not be the best fit for you. I have also advanced in my time here at UMA and now share my leadership skills/knowledge with others.
