      Unpaid "Internship" is a Scam

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The co-workers seemed pleasant. Company has a lot of rhetoric to stand for its "values."

      Cons

      The scheme to become an "Employee" involves a 6-10 week course taught by untrained workers who read from a collection of worksheets one of the owner's sons wrote up in his spare time. Course is led mostly by contract workers waiting until they can be placed on a project. The Company prompts students to sign Non-Compete Clauses which are unethical and bar the potential employee from working in Tech sector, should they not be hired by Cook Systems. The entire scam is abhorrent and should be avoided at all costs. The company takes advantage of anyone desperate enough to take a crack at the course as a chance at learning Enterprise JAVA skills. Especially fond of preying on former Military trying to gain skills in the modern economy.

      Cook Systems is a Trail Blazer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Cook Systems International's CEO is a visionary. The Company has developed a ground breaking new program to create new Java Developers and high paying jobs for Americans. This program is new and there is nothing like it anywhere. When you combine this program's potential with the expertise the company already has in IT staffing, the organization will change the face of the Information Technology industry. Working here made me feel like I was apart of something big and exciting.

      Cons

      The program is new. It is having some hiccups, but don't most new mom's with infants need to give up some sleep and sanity in the early stages to help them grow? There are some pockets of poor leadership, and the typical office drama associated with them. Generally those individuals are flushed out over time.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Cook Systems is a good place to get a start in the IT career field. So far I have been able to network and team up with many other developers, work with several clients, and gain that much needed experience to succeed in the software development sector. The experience is by far the most valuable asset to gain from this company. The initial training period for the Fasttrackd program is unpaid, but it really does help out those with the ability to become great software developers who are having trouble getting a start in their career. The staff is pretty laid back and there is hardly ever any drama that arises. They are also very supportive, ranging from recovering from a major accident, losing your house in a fire, losing loved ones, to even girl scout cookies.

      Cons

      There does need to be more support available, but that's always true for anything. I don't know the internal workings of a business, but they could use more organization and transparency. Again, that's also always true for anything. Health insurance is a bit more expensive compared to plans provided by other employers.
