Pros

I decided to wait a few months before writing this review, as I didn't want it to be based on emotions, but instead based on facts. I worked at MTI from 2014 to 2016, and in these years I've witnessed this company grow from a one floor suite in Lake Mary, to a privately owned building in Millenia. This company is very fast paced and thrives for grow and success. This company's goal and overall purpose is to help it's students/customers become successful. With this in mind, understand that this is a for profit company, and sales and numbers are just as important. In my 2 years at MTI, I was promoted 3 times, and over this course of time received a $5 raise and commission. This company pays their employees extremely well! I never had an issue with management until the end of my time at MTI. Most of the upper management have an open door policy and will do anything to make your job easier! Success at this company truly depends on whether or not your in the right position, and how hungry you are for success. Unfortunately my time at MTI ended due to my lack of care. At the time of my employment I did not care for my manager and the 'dog eat dog' environment of the department I worked in. I let this affect me and just really stopped trying. The company is divided into 4 sections. Sales, Marketing & IT, Education, and HR. Depending on what position your deciding to apply for, your experience will depend on your manager. The entire Martinez family is fantastic, but they unfortunately don't play a role in your day to day job. MTI is again, a great company for the right person. MTI is a company for the right person to retire.

Cons

Every company has cons, and to think that they don't is quite naive. MTI however only had one con for me, and that was the lack of training. This isn't necessarily for new employees, but for employees being promoted to jobs that they may not have been qualified for. But to keep with the 'Grow Fast or Die' mentally, you're kind of expected to move forward as the opportunities present themselves. Towards my end at MTI I did see this being improved and this may not even be an issue for anyone any longer. Turnover is quite high at this company. There were many times in which I requested to be transferred to a different department and was told I was needed in my current position to only be laid off due to 'budgets'.

Pros

Some remote opportunities present and you had great staff that make things happen

Cons

Micromanagement and miscommunication runs rampant. Feels like a lot of bait and switch from what was advertised
