Pros
They are pros at extracting tax payer money via grants, enriching themselves, and arranging employment for the least experienced, educated, & qualified workers in the job market. The grads frequently don't show up to interviews, miss work in the first 1-2 weeks, and have entitled and negative attitudes. C.S. management is incompetent and lack genuine leadership skills and operational know-how. They don't know the best approach to their own craft. The staff is severely overworked, micromanaged, and given unrealistic expectations. If you facilitate a graduate getting an interview or hire, which is incredibly difficult, and they don't show up, quit or get fired, you don't get credit. In other words, your time/efforts are dismissed or penalized for the graduates' bad work ethic, low IQ, irresponsibility and unreliability. This organization calls a vulnerable population offering them a scholarship, so they can get them a job. The more grads that get jobs, the more grant money they are eligible to receive. The cause is a good one, but it is a rushed process that matches underprepared people for demanding administrative jobs. They do not truly care about their staff or students, this "non-profit" cares about intercepting the hard-earned money of the American tax payer.
Cons
The executives make over $700,000 according to CauseIQ, which is tax payer money. This operation is just a wealth-transfer scam from the U.S. tax payers pocket, into the executives'. The turnover rate is extraordinarily high, so they conduct massive hiring sprees each quarter. To UMA's product are the graduates and the graduates, are crap. Most UMA staff quit, some get fired. I've never seen anything remotely close to it. The morale is AWFUL.
