Fun place to work with Staff and Students
Automotive Instructor (Former Employee), Houston, TX – May 6, 2013
Pros: this wss not a job, it was an adventure
Cons: did not want to leave.
a day full of communcation with students, staff and Industry makers in the automotive industry. We instruct students and let them apply their learnings to lab based trainings. we also promote events to allow students and manufacture managers to demonstarte interveiwing skills to help them land a great job in the industry. The hardest part of the adventrure – more... is leaving at the end of the day, way too much fun on this job. finally, the most important part of this work enviroment is watching our students we trained to become successful technicians walk across the stage and except their rewards, some Certifcates, asscoiates degree in Automotive/Desiel and indurtrial papers. – less

management
Maintenance Technician VI (Former Employee), Houston, TX – April 29, 2013
management needs to reprioritize what is important.They are supposed to be all about the student experience, but treat the students like they are not important. They over charge for tuition, and are only about the money. I would never go to school here, or recomend working there

A labor of love
INSTRUCTOR (Former Employee), Norwood, MA – April 23, 2013
Pros: great faculty, good pay
Cons: corporate shenanigans
I absolutely loved this job. To me, it wasn't a job, it was my career. I went in every day and gave everything I could for those students and wouldn't have traded a second of it for anything in the world. If you like to teach and are knowledgeable with automotive, this is a great place.

Industry leader
IT Site Director (Current Employee), Phoenix, AZ – April 9, 2013
Pros: strong culture, industry leader
Cons: challenging regulatory environement has caused a lot of stress and change recently
UTI has been the industry leader for some time in the Automotive and Diesel technician industry. It has been producing quality technicians for over 40 years and dominates the market, especially as it relates to industry partnerships. Only the best qualify for the BMW, Mercedes, and Porche programs - nearly all Techs that make it into these programs – more... come from UTI, regardless of what competitors may say.

My role at UTI is to provide and maintain computers for staff and students. I spend most days working to resolve technical issues that come up. As part of the management team I coordinate and assist with any changes that are needed from the IT side of things.

I am wrapping up a huge project with UTI to upgrade the curriculum. This new material makes computers essential to the learning process, and lets face it - computers make things easier.

The best part of the job is watching students and staff be successful after working hard and finding solutions to challenges. – less

Busy workplace
Building Facility Manager (Former Employee), Scottsdale, AZ – January 1, 2013
Pros: great people to work with
Cons: poor work/life balance
Every day was a busy day and there was never a typical day.

My manager was a great person we worked well as a team and I was able to learn many things from him. I was able to shadow him during meetings to learn more about commercial real estate, campus expansions and/or build-outs, construction, design and facilities management.

The co-workers were – more... like an extended family.

The hardest part of the job was that I did not have any back up or team of my own so I was never able to truely take a day off without being on call with my Blackberry phone.

Overall, the most enjoyable part of the job was the people that I worked with and made life long friends. – less

Automative
Campus Admission Representative (Current Employee), Exton, PA – December 27, 2012
Pros: salary
Cons: need a variety within the job
Calling leads to recruit for the automative program. I have learned a little about cars, co-workers are good to work with they just their to do their job. Hardest part is getting people on the phone to interview.
