Pros

If you are totally destitute and have NO other way to earn a living, then accept a job with UMA with the understanding that you are still job searching. So the Pro is that you can earn a salary working for UMA. Benefits are good.

Cons

To keep your job at UMA as a Learner Services Advisor, you have to try to force students to log into their online classes. People who are illiterate with no technological skills are recruited to attend school and you are closely watched to make sure that you don't warn them to bail out of this school before the first 7 days of enrollment when the student won't be charged and that you continue to hound them to log in when it is obvious they have no desire or ability to attend class. Advisors are overwhelmingly Black or Latino will upper management is White. Right before I resigned my position, more Whites were being hired and I'm sure that's due to the sorry job market in Tampa. There are absolutely no promotional opportunities in the Student Services area. Anyone with an Assistant Director, Director or Senior Director title is hired from outside the company so if you are currently employed there and if you are a person of color, don't even think about applying for any of the aforementioned positions!

Pros

Overtime available, when need it

Cons

The work environment was highly scripted, making it difficult to build genuine rapport with prospective students. Employees were expected to follow approved scripts very closely, and even small deviations could be treated as compliance issues. At the same time, compliance expectations were not always clearly communicated, which created unnecessary stress. Management felt overly focused on micromanagement, contributing to a high-pressure work environment. During my time there, I also heard a prospective student comment on what they perceived as a lack of diversity within the organization, which stood out to me. Overall, I found the culture stressful and inflexible. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this employer to those looking for a supportive workplace with clear expectations and the flexibility to communicate authentically.
