ITT Technical Institute Reviews

I worked at ITT Technical Institute as a contractor for more than 3 years

Pros – Department chairs give adjunct instructors plenty of flexibility on how to teach materials to students. Materials are provided, including access to several types of media.

Cons – Students do not take an entrance exam so their abilities vary (a few couldn't write). Also, several were there just there to use their financial aid and had no interest in the program. Others (in talking about criminal justice program) had prior convictions which would preclude them from employment in the career field.

Advice to Senior Management – Continue to provide flexibility and support the instructors when student/teacher issues arise.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I have been working at ITT Technical Institute full-time for less than a year

Pros – It's rewarding to give individuals the chance to achieve their educational and career goals.

Cons – As a Rep, most all your time is spent on the phone, calling to set appointments. So there's not much variety in your day. It does become boring and frustrating when after 100 dials, you may have only reached a handful of people.

Advice to Senior Management – Spend more resources on retention strategies. Attracting new students is not the only way to make money.

I worked at ITT Technical Institute full-time for more than a year

Pros – Organized, good campus-level support staff; Excellent chairs and faculty. Decent salary. Assisting students to find their career aspirations is what motivated to get to work every day.

Cons – It's all about the numbers to the company. My previous supervisor was Jekyll and Hyde; one day way up, the next way down, and because she was too often "way down", her words and deeds ultimately drove me from this company. If she was a reflection of ITT - and by her actions and her overt brown-nosing, I'd say she was - then I'd exercise caution when seeking work here. I'll repeat: It's all about the numbers.

Advice to Senior Management – Hire more mentally-stable supervisors who can tactfully and artfully articulate responsibilities, and will cultivate and nurture a career aspiration, rather then treat you, ultimately, like chattel.

I worked at ITT Technical Institute full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Great benefits and entry pay.
Light travel for middle management.
Great technology and resources.
Opportunity to relocate most anywhere in the US.
Heightened sense of compliance and integrity.
Concerned and (usually) intelligent faculty.

Cons – Lateral pay for position advancement in most cases.
Beyond attainable goals to meet raise requirements.
Software used for administrative functions is disorganized and not standard or current to many other schools.
The future of this type of school is uncertain and the fears of that are seen in numerous layoffs and department consolidations.
Headquarters has a real lack of sensitivity to what each individual school needs. They make "business" decisions that effect students adversely.

Advice to Senior Management – Neglect extreme cost cutting measures and reinstate an overly attentive customer service level. The tuition is in no way comaprable to the overall experience.

I have been working at ITT Technical Institute part-time for more than a year

Pros – Good supplement to your income while also keeping up with those essential skills.

Cons – The course work for the class you teach is from ITT Technical Institute. It is advised not to add to the curriculum but add your teaching style and knowledge. The con is that there is so much coursework to cover in one nights class there is not much time to add your knowledge and expertise.

Advice to Senior Management – Allow the adjunct teachers to adjust lesson plans as necessary for their subject matter. The teachers are subject matter experts as well.

I worked at ITT Technical Institute

Pros – It's a job with benefits

Cons – you have no control over your success

I worked at ITT Technical Institute full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Decent training, benefits and pay.

Cons – No leads given even though promised. Calling the same people repeatedly. You can be disciplined for not achieving goals, but you can't be rewarded for achieving or surpassing them.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at ITT Technical Institute full-time for more than a year

Pros – We always had a lot of fun together, I met some amazing co-workers, and it really benefited me for my future careers as far as interviewing prospects, scheduling, and cold calling.It taught me good leadership skills and how to talk with several different demographic prospective students. I was a great experience until, all of a sudden something will happen and then you get the cons *2

Cons – I hated the hours more than anything i think. I would also have to say the little groups that tend to merge together and cause trouble for the other departments. It isnt very stable and you never know whether you still have a job or you dont. Not everyone is genuine or trustworthy.

Advice to Senior Management – Be honest with your employees from the git go, don't sugar coat things and give peoples' hopes up. Walking in to work and then three hours later getting laid off, and knowing that it was going to happen days ago. Not Cool!

I worked at ITT Technical Institute full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Well, I can not think of too many Some of the employees were nice..

Cons – I have never worked at a place where you are excoriated over tasks you have no control over. If students do not come to class it is the teacher's fault. If a student drops for ANY reason it is the fault of the teacher and the program chair. I would be nice if senior management at HQ was subjected to the same treatment. ITT stock has gone from the high 70's to the mid teens in less than a year. Amazingly, all of the senior management at HQ are still employed by ITT.

This employer is very numbers and metric oriented and has lost touch with the human in human resources. The goals they expect you to hit are unattainable. I would strongly encourage anyone to not work for this employer.

Advice to Senior Management – You have lost touch. You are viewed by many employees as a business pretending to be a school. Start spending as much money on education that you spend on marketing. it is all about the students, that is who you are supposed to be serving, not the upper management at HQ.
