Cook Systems reviews

The 8 week training program can be a sacrifice, as you are not paid for this, and your entry salary upon completion of the course is on the low end. HOWEVER, you are in line to receive substantial raises on a regular schedule for a few years, which in the long run helps to alleviate these issues.

There is no pay for the program and they dangle the threat of having to pay back the course if you leave within one year. SO DO NOT SIGN THE CONTRACT! It's a good ole boys company and they will fill you with the "cool-aid" so be very careful! Yet, what they wont tell you is if you pass this silly course, you will not be placed on a job. So, you sit there waiting at home to get phone call. Scared that if you do find something else, you will have to pay back the money of the course which you don't have. THAT IS THE SCAM. When the graduates talk with each other they get more upset as they sit at home or work for free on small projects for the company. Salaries are shared and you just get more upset as you are not really hired until there is a job open. And listening to the staff, the sales people do nothing. So there is no hope that you will get placed. These is a huge disconnect from management and the staff. Management feeds you the cool-aid and the staff tell you the reality. The instructors do there best to read out of the binders (which we could do ourselves for free on youtube) but have such little influence on the class as the management holds their thumbs down and refuses to hear what needs to be done. The staff either remote or at the headquarters will fill your ear with gossip and how horrible the company is run. And then they just shrug their shoulders when a student asks for help or has a concern. EVERYTHING goes through management....no one is aloud to think for themselves. DO NOT ENGAGE THIS COMPANY....you will maybe pass a java course, you will not work after and the staff is NO help and gossips. You end up hearing way more than you should and getting so upset with management for not doing anything you want to quite, but you can't in fear they will take you to court to pay the money for the class which they state IS FREE!
