Pros

You get to weigh in on ideas, those ideas become incorporated into the current process, that change becomes a part of you. You begin to want to work harder as you realize that every part of this company is essential and key to another part, and you begin to realize that you do matter. Here is where I found my voice, my part in this company and this is why I'm still here after so long.

Cons

The company as a whole is great, I think the challenge can come from individuals. A persons outlook on the position they hold, are they happy with there job or are they just passing through? Other than that I haven't experienced any Cons that I cannot overcome.

Pros

Friendly atmosphere, fairly flexible work schedule/PTO if you are in certain departments.

Cons

You need to negotiate your salary up front because all future promotions/raises are based on this even if you move to more technical, high responsibility positions in the future. This is a BUSINESS not a SCHOOL. Management is spotty at best. Corporate Culture is a "good old boy/New York Centric" network. If you aren't one of "them" you are nothing. The people most often rewarded are the people with the worst work ethics, worst attitudes and most likely to stab you in the back. Average age is 28 - not necessarily a "con" per se but harder on those who are older employees

Pros

I think that there is a lot of potential for UMA, and that the core values that they stand for are honest and true in nature. It has been a good experience for me thus far and the atmosphere in our team is great. I am enjoying the fruit they are putting in the break room as well!

Cons

I'm not a big fan of the word cons, I think room for improvement would be a better term for this. Positivity and morale seem to slip when trying to meet deadlines, which I've experienced first hand that the stress from the managers or team mates ends up in burnt bridges with employers, graduates, and even worse employees. Some teammates go behind others backs to try and get interviews or placements, which I understand because of the quota that is needed to be made but wouldn't it create higher level of moral when everyone is working together instead of pushing against each other? I wish the turnover rate wasn't so high because I've lost some great workers through out the last year because of the overwhelming amount of stress that was put on them to get numbers up, but nobody spoke up when in fact they've been helping other CSA place their graduates by helping on leads or giving credit when not needed. As I said it's not a con, just room for improvement ! I love working here !
