Working for ITT was a pretty terrible experience. The only redeeming quality for them is their employees. The overall office moral was terrible though. Management is rude to their employees and blames them for things that are out of their control. The admissions department has no leads. They make cold calls all day from lists of previous inquires that are anywhere from 2 to 5 years old. The financial aid department is advised to pretty much "do whatever it takes" to package a student. Even if it is immoral or deceptive. This is a completely money driven school. No concerns for their students or employees. You will be told when you are interviewed that the expectation is that you'll work 1 or 2 late nights a week and maybe a handful of Saturdays throughout the year. Then once your hired you'll be told about all the mandatory phone-a-thons that spring up. This will cause you to have to work 3 to 4 Saturdays in a row. They will schedule you until 9pm two nights a week but if then "numbers" don't look good they will basically tell you you should probably work more late nights (and this is not a suggestion). Don't expect to have your holidays off either. They will give you less than a weeks notice when they decide to be open on Memorial Day or Labor Day and then it will no be an optional day. The staff turnover is hirer than any place I have ever worked. From the time I started to the time I left they went through roughly 5 employees. This doesn't sound terrible in itself but keep in mind the office staffs about 8 people! I was there for less than 6 months.

Overall my experience there was not a positive one. I left there feeling very beaten down and worthless. Please think twice before deciding to work here. They are not an ethical company and they do not care about their employees. It is a very toxic environment.

Nearly five years with this company and I've watched it collapse downhill. From what used to be a fun job with even a bonus pay structure has become a nightmare where YOU the instructor and especially the dept chair are required to save and bring in students that you are blamed for losing in the first place. As a department chair, you are expected to now teach several classes and somehow fit in your responsibilities, which are mainly bringing in re-entry students, some of whom shouldn't be in school anyway. The students are on the whole, with exceptions, bottom barrel. I have many students who can't read or write because the acceptance standards are so low. The place is a revolving door nailing chairs mainly who don't reach their numbers. Management will side with students almost always, as I've seen students stay after striking instructors, fighting, and even serious disrespect of instructors. Evaluations are a joke as you are expected to handle things you can't control. For example, as a instructor, if a student drops out, that affects you. You and your department chair MUST get that student back in school which is done mainly through obsessive phone calls. Those calls are monitored, counted, and you are held responsible for outcomes. Recently, a Iowa senator has gone after ITT in defense of students, but I argue he should defend EMPLOYEES. Students get support, not staff.

Stay away from this place.

I have worked as a program chair at an ITT for a little over 2 years, There was one student in my program that the Dean took a liking to. Anytime this student went to complain about anything I or anyone else did she swallowed it up like is was Manna from heaven. This student has had repeated documented cases of insubordination and outright threats to faculty members reported in IRIS (IRIS is the database where student advising is maintained).

This student has never been suspended or disciplined in any manner. This student has succeeded in getting two adjunct instructors fired, one quit, and two others refuse to teach her.

At ITT the students are seen as cash cows. The instructors are under intense pressure from headquarters not to have any drops. Instructors are evaluated on engagement rate which is your attendance rate with the added twist of everyone being marked absent for the rest of the quarter if they drop. Most instructors come there with the goal of wanting to make a difference and have sincere and honorable intentions.

As program chair your most important responsibility is reentries. A reentry is getting a student to return to ITT after they have dropped out. You will be calling and calling old numbers and trying to get students to come back to school. Most of the time 70 - 80% these numbers are bad. you still have to call anyway and document each call.

If you really need the job go ahead, but you have been warned.

Whatever you do don't work here. I was lied to about my schedule and wages. In the beginning I was baited into taking a job. Once I started working there I was trained by someone who was supposed to be the best at everything but was also the person that was responsible for just about everything. I got a month's worth of training in 3 months meanwhile being rode up for things that my trainer had told me to do. My first week there I was asked to work overtime and was almost ridiculed because I didn't want to. Overtime was an option for about the first two weeks, then all of a sudden it became mandatory. I was told I'll be working Monday through Friday 8 hours. By my second week I was told I was required to work 9 hours Monday through Friday and 6 hours on Saturday. Eventually managers didn't want to work Saturdays so we were forced to work 10 hours Monday through Thursday and 8 hours on Friday. I was told I would be getting excellent training and that the work environment was helping when I was basically fed to the wolves and put into a situation that was already a mess. Made to run a machine that was thousands of dollars behind in order and running parts that the company hadn't even written programs for yet. It's a very small town company with a small town environment and I wouldn't recommend a person who isn't from this town or area work there. Also beware of sabotage from co-workers and management. 

A typical day is to constantly investigate supplier repeating issues when parts are received. The supply chain strategy delivery needs to be clearly defined so that it is predictable and drives predictable throughout the value stream. Also, quality needs to be driven and measurable at the source, not at the point of use. Management needs to be data driven to make better decisions financially. Make better use of resources from offshore to capture the labor and material advantages. Recognizing the hard-working employees lack with ITT and rather hire an outsider which could be a liability. ITT has talented pool of employees at the mid-level which is extremely missed during the promotion process. ITT should promote within to create a stronger culture that will last a long time, especially in the heart bread production management. The hardest part of the job is the gap between engineering and manufacturing with the ability to obtain technical data for machining tools. There are too many silos that will need to bridge holistically. Further, this does not drive seamless transfer of information that could translated for a clearer process. The employees are friendly and would share their ethnic food which better than any 5-star restaurant. Go Irvine production!

ITT allows it's employees the flexibility to work from home if the role allows for that.  They believe in and the manager's preach to their employees about good work/life balance.  Over the past 2 years, I was given the opportunity of a lifetime to help Develop, Test, and Launch the Talent Management module of a new HCM System called Workday.  The experience has been the hardest project I have ever worked on, but also, the most enjoyable and fulfilling.  The knowledge I gained with regard to learning Workday's system requirements and process management has given me a new perspective, and a new found respect for my HRIS colleagues.  We worked very closely together during the development and testing period.  During the first year, which was the most difficult, we were all learning the quirks of the system.  It seemed like everyday we had to make adjustments.  There was a lot of trial and error.  We are now in the second year, and things are going very smoothly.  I am also charged with maintaining the Talent Management SharePoint sites along with owning the Development Assessment process for the company's Leaders, Manager's, and Professionals.  ITT has a well developed curriculum based upon their culture principles which enable our Leaders and Managers to help guide and coach their employees.  I have enjoyed working for this company very much.

I work as an engineer and my interests are in dynamics and control systems. Favorite parts about working here:

- tuition reimbursement program for part-time students (there is a requirement about length of time at the company before you can apply, but they have waived this before)

- in 2020 they introduced paid paternity / maternity leave for 6 weeks. Pretty great for the US

- can apply for research projects and, assuming it aligns with the company a little bit, can get funding for the research (have not seen many people do this, though)

- despite the reputation of production-focused facilities, the people here are REALLY nice

- lots of opportunity for vertical and lateral growth. One example I think is interesting is someone who started in the test lab as an intern, was hired as a test engineer, then they moved to seismic engineering and became one of that group's high-level design engineers.

- bi-weekly all-hands huddles (not mandatory, but encouraged), where the site leaders discuss hwo the company is doing and usually spotlight one or two cool things going on around the factory. It's good for keeping in the loop.

- the company feels halfway between a small private firm and a corporate conglomorate. it makes for an interesting workflow and culture that I think is mostly positive

My typical day at work when I started was wanting to to advance myself and better the company. Too much horse playing and favoritism goes on at this company. No room to advance because of the buddy system which is very much alive at this company.  Management actually hurt quality and sales due to poor mismanagement and not knowing or caring about what the employees were saying to them.  I bent over backwards and fought tooth and nail trying to better the product for sales.  Only to be over ridden by poor management not wanting to seek the truth about product's poor quality.  The hardest part of the job was building product only to see it fail time and time again without  any real corrective action to solve issues- just applying band aids to get product out the door.  Frustrating situation daily.  60 percent of employees trying to do work, the other 40 percent not performing leaving the 60 percent of workers frustrated.  Management knew they had this problem but chose to ignore it.  I came into this company as a patriot wanting to better the company in USA to beat out other competitors, but left feeling very disappointed and ashamed that a company in USA would stoop so low. 

The stress level for 90% of those working at ITT is astonishing, although it is hidden by most in management behind false smiles and attitudes.  Expectations for most positions, including management are unrealistic, creating a palpable negative work environment.  The turn over is very high, especially in the recruitment department.  Most do not feel they are safe in keeping their job, no matter the effort they put in.  It seemed to me that 9 out of 10 were not happy working there.

One thing that was driven home to everyone was to provide superior customer service, which I observed to be excellent and professional at all times, by everyone.  Also, it was my experience that we were told to stay within the guidelines and policies of the company as well as the accreditation board, with no exceptions.

The instructional staff is top notch, experienced with hands on knowledge of what subject(s) or in the fields they teach.  The vast majority did care about the students succeeding.

Over the years, the focus of ITT Technical Institute has become one focused on profit, not the students.  It is much more a business than a school of higher learning.

Benefits were priced very high, with ridiculous deductibles.  Pay was sub-par for what was expected.
