University of Utah Reviews

Pros

It has a very good Graduate Program. It garantess you full financial support for 5 years. Usually enough to complete your PhD work. Salt Lake City itself is really cheap compared to other Cities with Top schools. The Department itself has an excellent recognition for being good. The best thing about the Program is that some groups are top nationwide, that the school can easily compete with top schools like Berkeley or Purdue and such! But the really cool thing about the program is the location: the best snow on earth during winter times and the best sceneries around summer time... more national parks than any other state in the US(except for Alaska).

Advice to Management

Pros

The benefits. Free tuition. Easy access to trax and other forms of transportation. Incredible medical benefits. It's also very stable work. They don't fire people even when they are obvious dirt bags among the ranks. So if you're looking for a place to work where you aren't held to really high standards. I guess this would probably be in the downsides section

Advice to Management

They need to listen to our requests a little better.

Pros

Laid back atmosphere, lots of outdoor activities when not at work, great benefits for cheap

Advice to Management

Good leadership depends on your boss, mine is great!

Pros

The University of Utah was a good place to work. I worked there for a few years while earning my degree. Co-workers were nice and friendly, pay was good for a student job. Management was reasonable and friendly. Job was rarely stressful. Benefits for full time positions are great. Despite the few cons and advice to management, this is my favorite job. I left to gain more experience and earn a higher salary, but the U, in particular the Marriott Library was a great place to work.

Advice to Management

Put a little more emphasis on employee performance over standard policies. Try to keep employees engaged to prevent creativity and performance from stagnating.
