Pros

nothing absolutely nothing, do not work here.

Cons

I'd give this place zero stars if I could. Shady business practices, no real understanding of how to run a company or manage employees, they micromanage people, the number of vacation days provided is a joke, lots of turnover at the senior management level which should tell you something, no business strategy, I could go on and on.

Pros

You have a CHANCE for a job.

Cons

Owe 30k if you are fired for cause or if you leave. You are not guaranteed the job even if you complete the program. You are stuck making minimum wage if they can't place you.
