Pros

Great school! Students will leave better and definitely get what they they put in, sky is the limit! Lots of support from instructors, career services and all staff. Training was phenomenal! I learned a ton that I will take with me in my career. They do invest in reps success.

Cons

No real complaints, other than there is a real disconnect between FA and Admissions. This isn’t intended to be negative towards TWS , just to make someone aware. I gave a 2 weeks notice and happy to help and work out the last 2 weeks. I was told that was my last day and I wouldn’t be paid out the notice or my vacation time which included my birthday day that was already approved and was told this was company policy. So if your thinking of leaving, don’t give notice.

We do our best to foster a culture of care between staff and students. We move fast and understand that sometimes we are slow to implement feedback. We are working on ways to improve our process for gathering information from all employees across all locations. We appreciate that you took the time to let us know about this challenge at the campus.

Pros

Rewarding teaching someone a trade that will support their family! Most of my coworkers where well qualified to teach welding .and great to work with.The pay was ok for jax benefits where good. they payed for me to get my CWI.

Cons

It was great my first couple years. Then the corporation showed its ugly head. By forcing instructors to pass student's that where not ready to move on. At that point I felt like my integrity was under attack because I was being asked to grade people better than they should of been receiving just to keep the flow of student's going through the program. Unfortunately not everyone can do this trade but corporate wanted to make sure they completed the program . After getting really good performance reviews every year. the last 2 years I was there we did not get raises. Even though we where hitting record number of students. When I asked for a raise after getting my CWI/CWE certification I was still told no? No reward for educating yourself and becoming a better asset to the company. Even when offered a job at another company I wanted to stay with TWS when I said if you guys can match the pay I would rather stay here. I was still told no increase in pay. Unfortunately I had to do what was better for me and my family.

Thanks for the feedback. We definitely believe we have the most skilled instructors in the business, they are the key to all student success. We have never required an instructor to pass a student that was not meeting course rigor. We do give every opportunity to our student to succeed. Glad you were able to take advantage of our education benefit and congratulations on obtaining your CWI. We are competitive with our compensation and rewards and review compensation on a regular basis.
