Utah Transit Authority reviews

I would not recommend working in the HR Department. Lots of room for a more progressive approach to people management. For a long time, that department was led by someone with primarily a Labor Relations (e.g., union labor contract negotiations) background, not an HR background. This background lends itself to viewing the employee as the "adversary" in a negotiation, rather than as a "partner" to the success of the organization. This shows up in the types of people policies embraced by the People Office, and its leadership. If you are looking for a more progressive place to work from an HR perspective I wouldn't recommend UTA, unless it gets a new tone of leadership from the top.

The job of a driver is tough, and I'm not even one anymore. I provide support to the drivers through my work, and it's nearly impossible to make positive changes for the drivers when I can't get clear direction from managers, because they're afraid of the constant changing of the executives. There is no direction, no clarity. I want to help people and give people flexibility but I can't when I'm getting no information. The COO recently left so hopefully that changes, but I feel like UTA is very top heavy.
