Pros

The pay, benefits and time off and assistance with paying to further your education with them are the only benefits

Cons

They are very numbers driven. You will go in with the expectation you will be able to enroll easily but it's a very pressured sales postion. Turn over rate is very high because its pressured sales. Your just a number here doesnt feel "christian based" at all. Even when you are meeting your numbers your never doing enough. You can lose your job for not meeting numbers so no job security at all here. Many tenured people have left because this workplace is toxic to your mental health.

Pros

Tuition benefit Opportunity to visit campus Team members Involvement in the Community

Cons

I have truly wrestled with what to write in this review, as I do believe there have been good aspects of the role over the past 4 years. However, I think prospective employees deserve a clear understanding of the role that is not included in the job description. This is a quota-based role. As a UDR, you are responsible for monthly metrics that must be met. It is a strictly sales job, and those coming from a previous higher education background will soon be shocked. To truly thrive in this role, a sales background is needed and the ability to work 50-plus hours a week. If you do not meet your student enrollments, you will be placed on an improvement plan. If you thrive in a fast-paced setting with continuous pressure to be more and do more, this is the role for you.
