Ecotech Institute

Is this your company?

Teachers love to complain. For many of us, it's better than the other reviews might let on. - Instructor Ecotech Institute Employee Review

Pros

We are changing students' lives. The mission of building a workforce for renewable energy fields is one I believe in. My job here is indoors, warm, and dry (as opposed to the field work I would be doing if I weren't working here). I get to live with my family which would not be the case if I were out in the field traveling constantly.

Cons

Long hours. Very few career development options. Employees have been given reasons not to trust the senior corporate management.

Pros

Everyone at this place on site in Aurora CO (admin, staff, faculty) is top notch, supportive and brilliant . An amazing team that can accomplish amazing things....like helping disabled Vets nearly homeless on the streets getting wind and solar jobs that pay well.

Cons

If you are "staff" (admin, admissions, FAFSA) keep building your resume, because you are likely to get laid off at any time with no warning. Not from local Ecotech, from ECA in Alabama. Librarian - position eliminated, now full-time faculty have to work extra hours to cover in the library. Student Services - Position eliminated. Career services, cut down to 1 person. FAFSA - cut down. New policy - we had too many copy/print machines, cut down from 8 to 3. Students no longer have a copy machine in the library, and faculty copy/print machines went from 2 to 1.....now when it breaks there is no backup other than printing your student assignments at the UPS store down the road and paying for it out of your pocket. Completely failed admin system, some professors have to buy their own lab supplies out of pocket. Expect last-minute schedule changes that destroy your vacation plans, "sorry that you already paid for that vacation, nothing we can do." None of this comes from local at Ecotech, this pile of crap is dropped upon these great people from a bunch of folks in Alabama who have never taught a class in their lives.
