The best they can do is free popcorn on Friday. Oh yes, if you are fortunate enough to work in the downtown headquarters, you will share your space with roaches, and cold air coming in from the unfixed cracks in the walls caused by the earthquake, bring your own space heater, it’s about 60 degrees in the morning.
Leadership doesn’t exist but management does. There is not an open door policy so if you’re not in a good place with your immediate manager there isn’t an option for you but to live with it.
There is zero - zero - culture at UTA, and a lot of cheap talk and motivational (which are demotivating) posters on the walls. Benefits are good, but attracting fresh talent is a challenge because pay is intentionally below market. There is the opportunity to work with many different groups of people. The work at UTA is interesting, and challenging - but in a good way. You can get paid more doing a different job and probably get a better schedule If there are drivers who have been here for a few years they’re allowed to basically do whatever they want or treat people however they want because UTA won’t do anything. There also absolutely no accountability here. Yes you do have your two days off but they’re always split days off and management will guilt trip you into working on your days off. If you have kids or a family or any social life you can kiss that goodbye. You have to call in to an automated system at 5 PM the previous day to get the work for the next day but they will probably change your work and not tell you.
They also can change your schedule whenever they please. If you don’t live close there’s no point in going home unless you have a sizable split. The split shifts are what eat your day up as well. You have windows that you are supposed to work (mine is 5 am-7pm) but they constantly work you outside of it. Now let’s move onto the negatives and get comfy because there are a lot: UTA owns you for 14 plus hours a day. The only good things about the job is most of your coworkers are great and the benefits are good.
