      Awesome training, they were able to get me out of my construction and into the field I've always wanted to be in.

      Pros

      I was attending night school for a degree in Computer Science and working construction 5 days a week. I knew nobody would want to hire a recent graduate who had absolutely 0 experience in the field. Cook Systems gave me that experience. i quit my construction job and put my trust in them. I went through a rigorous 8 week training program that really tested my abilities. In our training class, 16 people started, but only 4 of us completed it. That should give you some idea of how difficult and worth while the training is. After I completed the training, they used their resources and found me a job as a software developer with a reputable company. I've never been happier with my profession.

      Cons

      Now I have to attend a gym to keep my body from inflating due to a desk job

      Cook System's Fasttrack'd program revolutionizes technologically-dead areas of the country with a breath of fresh air.

      Pros

      The FastTrack'd program is an essential resource in the modern age that adequately identifies talent and respectively finds immediate placement for that talent in a focused career. Rather than focusing on generalized studies that have proven to be ineffective in determining an individual's skill level, FastTrack'd helps that individual find the practical resources and knowledge needed to be successful in his/her career. Also, the company could not have a better support system comprised of dedicated and motivated individuals. For a person like myself who did not have any opportunities in a professional career without finishing my degree and no financial means to do so, Fasttrack'd is a saving grace. The company provides excellent time off policies, a well-rounded, free training program that will prepare anyone with potential to jump into a career as a developer, fast pay raises that are promised and fulfilled with the initial contract, and a relaxed family-like environment with an impossibly strong support system.

      Cons

      The company prides itself on only hiring the best candidates, which can result in people being denied or let go due to performance. The Fasttrack'd training program is rigorous and only individuals with the drive to succeed will survive it. In a highly competitive market, Cook maintains its validity through being a highly competitive asset.

      Great Opportunity through the FastTrack'D program!

      Pros

      Through the FastTrack'D program, I was able to learn skills that I was not taught in college, bridging a gap that has made me more suited to work as a developer for the clients that I work for. Also, you don't have to have 2 years of experience to get this job. I was able to come in as a fresh college graduate, and have now been with the company for around a year and a half!

      Cons

      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.
