Student Finance Dept. - Anonymous employee Ultimate Medical Academy Employee Review

I worked here for 3 years in the Student Finance Department and generally, I really enjoyed it. The initial training at that time was about two weeks, and it was both appreciated and pretty intimidating/exhausting. However, we also had Friday trainings every week and after a while, those regular sessions helped me feel confident as a professional student finance advisor despite the fact that I had zero previous experience. (Also, note: I worked very hard and was promoted in less than a year, so I was fortunate to avoid phone-burnout.) There seemed to be a lot of room for promotions within the department and even into other departments, so if you can avoid getting caught up in petty politics and jealousies -- this may take some effort! -- you could gain a lot of experience here. Some managers were obviously better than others, but I found everyone in mid- to upper-management easy to talk to and very down to earth. The pay was also decent and overtime hours were offered on the weekends and holidays, but it was never mandatory. Benefits kicked in after 90 days. I had a great time here.
