Pros

It is a nice place to work, with out the politics. After Pinegree, things have not been the same.

Cons

Don't get me started. The rules are only for the workers. So it seems. The management and board need to live by the rules.

Utah Transit Authority Response

The Board and all management are working hard to regain public trust. Our entire culture is aimed at being safe in everything we do, championing fiscal responsibility, creating both a great place to work as well as value for our customers. You are encouraged to talk to your supervisor about your concerns to make UTA a great place to work.

Pros

I Loved working at UTA. The benefits are great. The people are really nice. If you just do your job you are treated well.

Cons

There is a bit of bureaucracy going on in the leadership but for the most part it can be ignored.

Utah Transit Authority Response

We are pleased you enjoyed working at UTA, which as you say, has great benefits and has great co-workers. As a former employee, you should consider returning to UTA. Our benefits have improved with a new, free on-site clinic. It is available to all full time employees and their dependents at no charge, plus over 200 generic medicines available at the dispensary at no cost.
