Pros

Pay. Co-workers are awesome but are continuously fired, that gets quite depressing over time.

Cons

Extremely high turnover due to unrealistic expectations and the fact that literally less than 10% of the people you call answer the phone, the ones that do answer are usually annoyed because we call the same people multiple times a day. UMA pays a lot because they know you probably wont make it past your 3 month probationary period, I began with 25 people in my training class in August and I was one of 5 remaining by December. The people that are the most successful are the ones that are unethical and that's why most people can't make it to begin with.

Dear former admissions representative, we know your role at UMA included many challenges and we appreciate your feedback as we seek to continuously improve our institution. It is important to point out that UMA contacts prospective students who have explicitly requested to be called by UMA to receive information about attending school here. If a prospective student is no longer interested and they request no further contact, that request is honored. If at any time we discover, through a report by another employee or through our comprehensive training, call monitoring or compliance programs, that an employee is acting inappropriately, the matter is investigated and addressed swiftly. UMA has published admission requirements at the institutional and sometimes programmatic levels, only one of which (approved high school graduation or GED) you mention. There are other requirements, including proficiency in English. If students are unable to meet these requirements, they are not permitted to be enrolled. It is the job of the admissions representative to help prospective students who meet those requirements decide if UMA is the right fit for them (and vice versa), and help the prospective student understand what is involved in enrolling in and completing a UMA program. If an admissions representative does not do this effectively, or if the representative does not enjoy the work, he or she often moves to a different role, or moves on from UMA. These points are covered extensively during training and orientation. The job can be difficult – but also very rewarding. Best wishes to you on the next chapter of your career.

Pros

You get to look nice and dress up. Façade is to act professional and they do not discriminate outwardly. They pay well for new hires and hired me on the spot and I never applied! They found me! Nice working people but don't get too close as they don't want you to become friends with anyone.

Cons

Weird. Loud music from everyone! No one wants to talk to you or help as they are afraid you will get their leads! Back stabbing . Turn over rate is enormous! Our team lost one person about every 10 days or less. People just get up and leave, get fired or get other jobs. Older employees started at a much higher hourly rate. Push to get jobs for grads that don't want jobs and almost strictly cold calling. leads dry up after two days and have to find your own. If you are favored, you get the yeahs!! if not. Under handed company. taking money from every government agency out there! If you are stupid High school mentality, you will love this place! You have to be a sweat shop worker and just sit there and dial dial dial!
