Salt Lake Center - ZLC

apegler Junior Member Salt Lake City

Just was wondering if anyone has any information about the Salt Lake Center. Hows the life there? Anything I should be looking out for as a newbie when I get there?

I'm at the TRACON in SLC. Salt Lake City is a nice place to live. It's a very clean city compared to others. If you like to ski or snowboard.....this is the place.

I've heard SLC Center is a great place to work a while back from some guys training there.

I recently got selected for ZLC and I was wondering if anyone out there currently works there or has in the past? I've read a lot of threads where people said good and bad things about their facilities and I was just curious about my future place of employment.

I have not worked there, but have known several that have. Looks like you are from that area so I would have to guess that the main thing I heard anyone say that they did not like was the difference in culture and religion should not affect you. I am not even sure the several I knew even said that was bad just different or at worst "not my cup of tea".

I heard nothing bad about the center itself, just huge sectors and slowwww traffic. I have heard all sorts of things about most every other center, be it this center is busy or this one has bad management or this one is in a bad part of town, I have never heard anything bad about ZLC.

Thanks for the reply, I haven't been able to track down any major bad things about ZLC so I am pretty optimistic.

So how does this work when you select your preference for cities to live? Im from the Salt Lake area and own a house here already. What are the chances im going to stay around here if I put it as my top choice?

Right now there are 7 of us in training in OKC to go to Salt Lake City. I am the only one out of the 7 that did not live in SLC. So I would say its pretty good. I would suggest talking to your HR person or even the training director at the facility you want to work at; tower, tracon, or the center and see if there are openings there.

I agree with apegler... however I'm not sure if it is the training director you would want to talk to. When I got my test scores back from the AT-SAT I was set up for an interview with the HUB manager in the area I wanted to work at. He oversees all of the facilities in this area. The thing that worked out nice was he knew that I wanted to stay in the same City so after the interview he chose where he thought I would be best at and the he pulled whatever strings he had to pull and I am staying here!

Yeah the HUB manager would be better for that. Nice call Meaghan

Where would I find the contact information for the HUB manager in Salt Lake area then?
Thanks for you help.
