Pros

Great people and training. Management works hard to set you up for life.

Cons

During the training process if you live in the area is hard due to the minimum wage pay for those 3-4 months. If you live far away they put you up in a hotel which is nice.

Pros

- Attentive trainers, account managers and support staff that will ensure your success. - Guaranteed placements for those who succeed in training (no lay-offs if you are meeting the standard) - Assist individuals new to the workforce with training and guidance on how succeed before you start working (beneficial to recently graduated students and military veterans). - Great office culture. You will feel welcomed and never left out. Everyone here has an open door policy. -Aggressive expansion. more clients, more locations means more placements and jobs for consultants. -Huge support for recruitment of veterans and continued support for consultants who are veterans. Benefits including pay continued for consultants who are drilling with the Reserve or National Guard.

Cons

- salary is not commensurate with previous experience before FDM. Business model is geared towards to potential candidates who will benefit from the training. - unpaid training during 2014. Unsure if this policy has changed.

Pros

- you and the other trainees become close like family - trainers are very helpful and supportive - tough projects that help you develop strong skills in a short time frame - chance to be placed at famous large companies - very helpful interview prep

Cons

- enormous fine if you break the contract - no job security - you can get kicked out even if you have gotten a placement from them before - strict environment - kinda feels like you're back in middle school - if you don't know how to network with account managers, you're screwed (in terms of finding placements) - depending on where you're placed, you may be suffering very long working hours (with no overtime pay) -account managers try to nudge you into roles you don't want or states you don't want to go to
