Pros

Helping students reach their goals Remote Position Group meetings that however repetitive are still helpful.

Cons

Poor Leadership with con like mentality in their training and sales tactics. Misguided Management with manipulative intentions to game the education system by producing just enough passing grades to stay afloat. Management is not looking out for the student's best interests. They take advantage of the poor leveraging they have in life whether it be financial or criminal records and charge twice the amount of other schools. It is just above a scam.
