Check out MTI for yourself and then decide...

by Sunnysideinsac

As a graduate and past employee of MTI College I would like to comment on the unfair statements made about MTI by what I assume to be an ex-employee. First do your own research, but let's consider some facts: Yes, MTI has been a part of Sacramento since its beginning in the 60's; its gradutes, well over 10,000, have done very well. I know that they see at least 90% of them get good jobs each year. They don't offer pie-in-the-sky programs or give false hopes to their students. Yes, you can go to ARC on the cheap, but where is that going to get you? From my experience it's good for getting the classes needed for transferring to a four-year college, but not much beyond that. In the time you waste fighting for classes at a community college and figuring out what you need, MTI would have you finished and working in a good job with opportunities for advancement. Okay... I'm a fan of MTI. Like I said, check it out for yourself and generate your own opinion. Hey, I don't even work there anymore, but I still care, it was a great place to work.

• Pros: Good results for getting started in a career
• Cons: only for the serious, flakes and losers should not attend

Don't waste your time or money

by hkdeuce

The place is a joke or a ripoff, depending on your perspective. They treat their staff and students like dirt. It's an old family-run business. Nothing more. They saddle you with gigantic student loans to pay for their overpriced BS courses and laugh all the way to the bank. The one positive reviewer who said the MTI was so great is an idiot. First of all, they state that MTI has been around forever like that is supposed to make me love them? Big whoop. MacDonalds has been around forever too. Secondly they state the other reviewers "seems to be conflicting" - what the f*** does that even mean? So your one good reviewer is an illogical moron with a poor command of English. That should tell you everything you need to know. ARC is 2 blocks away - why would you go to MTI?

• Pros: none
• Cons: way overpriced

Great school with graduates working in awesome careers!

by topartistinSac

I have hired MTI's Paul Mitchell graduates (2) and have been very pleased with their skills and knowledge. The writer who hired three and said they were all bad seems to be conflicting in that they keep hiring from MTI. If they were so bad why would they be doing this??? It seems like there's some Paul Mitchell envy in the works! Ha :-)

• Pros: been in Sacramento forever
• Cons: ? not sure

one line education!

by hairmob

We just hired our third graduate from this school and they have all been disappointing! everyone of them came with an attitude jst because they graduated from a PM school. all they knew is PM this and PM that, no real hair cutting or color education. They might as well have gone to jerry lee for that kind of education and saved themselves the money. ADVISE TO ASPIRING STYLISTS: IF YOU ARE GOING TO PAY THAT KIND IF MONEY GO TO A SCHOOL THATS OWNED BY STYLISTS. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL FOR THE PRICE

MTI is a pretend school

by grizgirrl

This school is a joke.

MTI staff are not oriented to give good service of any kind. "Customer service" is not in their vocabulary.

They see students as commodities (or perhaps just dollar signs). They don't respect you as a consumer or as a student.

There are no student support organizations or student lead groups. There is no student govenment. Students have absolutely no say in how the school is run.

If you don't agree with MTI staff about something, you are treated like a child (dismissed, ignored). The staff remarked about how stupid new students are and how they must hold their hands throughout the process.

If you DON'T care about how you are treated by the college staff and professors, as you spend thousands of dollars on an "education", then spend your money at MTI.

The fact is that these "diploma" mills save you very little time or money and deprive you of a higher quality education. A community college would be far superior to this hack organization.
