The worst thing to happen to education since book burning.

Pros

There used to be a decent starting wage.

Cons

The lack of professionalism displayed by employees and managers alike is staggering. I have witnessed profanities spewed, drinking on the job, and even twerking in morning meetings. Most representatives barely have a high school education and have little to no corporate experience, but this is possibly intentional so that they can more easily relate to the poorly educated student body. Used car sales tactics emotional manipulation are employed to dupe desperate, impressionable, single mothers into incurring tens of thousands of dollars in debt to receive training for positions that pay little over minimum wage and usually do not even require more than a high school diploma.

Pros

Best reasons for working here can be described as overwhelming but fulfilling. I love the atmosphere and the group of individuals I'm surrounded with. There's never a dull or boring day unless you set your goals to be just that. The minute I walk in, I am inspired to do better for my students. I believe in their dreams as much as they believe in themselves. At the end of the day, if I changed at least one person then I know I have done my part at UMA. I love what I do because I'm also setting personal gains and goals for myself. Management does know what it takes for us to put all of what we have into one conversation, so they really try to keep us upbeat and on our toes with games, activities, and FOOD! Let's not forget the REDBULL!!!!!

Cons

The most challenging aspect of working here is that all students are not the same. For some, it is a bit easier to talk to each student the same way as the last. But for me it is about the comfort level and trying not to sympathize with them so much. That's one thing we are trained not to do is sympathize but you can't help but to feel some type of way about students who don't have a dime to their names. Yes, I do think about what I have done but I also know at some point in their life, this education
