Pros

At first the paid training seemed nice because you get to learn new skills, but ultimately it turned into a con because there was no set positioning for us with clients so there's no real solid experience unless your placed with a client, its nothing that a actual employer would see and make you valuable to them.

Cons

They take half of your salary that you would get else where, they make you sign a contract for two years and if you breach it you have to pay them $20,000. They lied about your job security, even though you have meetings every week and several of cohorts asked about their next moves with the company they were not transparent, supposed to get a raise after a year instead they fired everybody who wasn't placed with a client. Randomly had to get more certifications in hopes of getting placed with a client and when it was completed still was fired, this whole experience is nothing but paid training was on the bench for 95% " 8 or 9 months" of the time after the 3 months of training. They could've said things were getting shaky prepare for other employment but no staying loyal to that contract and their lies will get you in horrible shape, left this company worse than when started it. I wouldn't wish this on my worse enemy. This company should not be allowed to operate in this manner. If you are unemployed now, stick it out good things will come but DO NOT apply here.

Pros

Provided guided training, trainer was extremely knowledgeable and responsive. Had hands-on team experience and paid for our Appian certifications. The cohort (the group of folks you start and end training with) and the trainer are the best part of this gig if you don't get to company placement.

Cons

False advertisement about future placement with company. Recruiter promised placement opportunity after training. However, several folk were given zero interviews to be placed before being let go. Lied about the days which are and aren't paid time off. Contracts states 7 paid days off (not listing the days). However, on December 17th a Team message is received stating no one is being paid from Dec 24th until Jan 2nd. This was never disclosed in the contract, email, or any other form prior to the 17th (7 days prior to the no pay time). Unprofessional management. Straight up threw "I used to live out of a car for a year and you should be open to that too" speech to **checks notes** raise morale? What in the actual fruit cake.

Pros

We did get paid every week. I didn't have to pay anything when I was let go. I had an attorney on stand by just in case!

Cons

I left my 10+ year job for this and it was a big mistake! There is a reason why a lot entry level ppl come here and not the experience individuals. They take advantage of you, your treated like a kid, they lie real bad, the contract is like signing your life away, and they let you go for dumb reasons. Very high turn over rate. ANYONE who said this was a good place was desperate. Luckily, I found better soon after with more pay and I knew my future and location. Keep in mind, I was the most experienced in my 6 person training class. The training class I was supposed to be in they told me no because it was full lol. The trainers know who doesn't fit their profile very early on so be careful. The insurance is sky high!
