Pros

Nothing is good about this comapany

Cons

College works is the definition of draining whatever they’re promising you expect to do double that in amount of work. Sure you can make some money if you work hard but even so your only going to net about 20% profit imagine running a 100k business doing pretty much all the work by yourself because each manager is so busy to honestly even help you to only net 20k profits while the company takes about 50% for doing nothing but telling you to knock on doors. All in all you make about 20$ an hour I’ve ran this through with multiple different interns and their profits were actually worse all in all not worth the anxiety. The first training will have about 200 people the training on from that will dim down to 20-30 people if that.

You clearly put in serious effort, and while this program pushes everyone to keep improving, we’re always evaluating how to better support and recognize that level of work.

Pros

Learn a TON, pretty good money, and everyone is super supportive.

Cons

It's not an easy job, so if that's what you're after, you're going to struggle. Don't expect to make good money if you don't work hard for it. It is worth it if you actually try your best.

This is the kind of growth we work to create for every student who joins us. You jumped in ready to work, picked up real skills, and found a team that has your back. The effort you put in is what makes the difference, and you clearly get that. Give it your all and this will take you far past the internship itself.

Pros

They are no pros to working here.

Cons

These people are awful. Worked here 10 years ago and I still think about how bad it was. First off they manipulated me into taking the job and then when I got there I was feeling pretty paranoid and sketched out by their behavior. By the end of the first training they were openly picking on me because I wasn’t participating. From that point on I had lost any trust in the staff as they were making everything about me. Some kind of bullying campaign was being done against me. They were putting stuff in my food and water to mess with me. The second training the Vp was talking about how much he hated me using indirect terms. Such as “I hate PowerPoint” but he was referring to me. In hindsight I should have just left and quit but I guess I didn’t want to just let them win. In the end they quit on me and basically went against their company values such as relationships are everything (didn’t talk to me), results matter (less time focused on me would have gotten results) , and never give up ( I never quit but they did).
