Great place to work!
IT Site Director (Former Employee), Exton, PA –
Pros: excellent co workers
I had the opportunity to start working with UTI before our Exton office opened. I was able to oversee the start of the IT department form the ground up. I was able to tell contractors where to install and run LAN lines, how the racks on the server room and wiring closets would be placed – everything! My day to day duties involved providing user support – more...  at all tiers, running the campus with the rest of the director team, and managing my staff.

My favorite part of the job was gaining the respect and trust of the staff, particularly the instructors. We were an automotive training school and the instructors were leery of technology and anyone involved in it. I enjoyed training them on IT systems and interacting with them on a daily basis.

One important lesson I learned is that everyone had an idea for how to do things that are different than mine, but often the ideas aren’t better, just different. I had to work with the the rest of the management team to recognize this – that before they approached me with a change that would involve time and money they had to ask themselves, “Does this change make things better or just different?”

My time at UTI was great. Sadly, the position if IT Director was eliminated at all eleven of our campuses and leadership was transitioned to the home office in Arizona. – less

Great Pay/Benefits
Former employee (Former Employee), Phoenix AZ –
Pros: pay and benefits
Cons: micromanagement, high stress
Great Place to work but unfortunately job security is an oxymoron. If you have the ability to disconnect morality from your work environment you will do great. However if charging students $30K to learn to be a mechanic bothers you, don't work here. It is all about the numbers, if you miss a month, you're fired. Just that simple.

Great place to work while getting an education.
Lab Assistant (Current Employee), Rancho Cucamonga, CA –
Friendly staff and management. Only worked as a part-time employee, so I can't say how well the benefits may be. Really enjoyed working in the lab assisting students with automotive repair jobs.

Student Worker (Current Employee), Irving, Texas –
As a student worker, UTI has been a great place to work and has been one of the best jobs I've had. There is plenty of work to do with some days having more than others. But the best thing is being able to work around class schedule, having weekends off and working with the faculty/staff, who are great people.
