      I have been working at Texas Transportation Institute part-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      -TTI has been very welcoming and kind the whole time I have been working here.
      -Because I am a student, they have been very flexible with my hours and have given me no trouble when I need to take time off for a test.
      -They have professional expectations that keep the office running smoothly but they also treat you like family.

      Cons

      For technicians, there are a multitude of chat services and bulletin boards that you must follow constantly to keep informed. Not a big deal but it is easy to miss things.

      Advice to Management

      Management is doing a good job keeping everything in line and on track.

      I worked at Texas Transportation Institute part-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Paid reasonably well for a student-worker. I was given the opportunity not only to learn new skills but develop some interpersonal skills helping customers solve their tech problems in the middle of them being frustrated. TTI had a good system setup for logging complaints and problems as well as handing them off to more experienced techs when things went over my head.

      Cons

      I would have greatly benefited from periodic monthly training on new technology standards or systems that were used inside TTI.

      Advice to Management

      Continually train your staff especially newbies.
