Vantaggi

Training is paid & more in-depth than at a webDev bootcamp. Learn useful skills & a foot in the door with big banks.

Svantaggi

Locked in a 2 year contract where you're paid $12-$15/hr for training but Walmart pays ~$16 for stocking positions. Told you get 15 days paid vacation on top of holidays, then find out it's mandatory unpaid holidays but can accrue vacation days once placed. A guy I worked with didn't get placed for 7 months. Their map of where you can be placed isn't kept up to date. Most often, jobs will be in middle to NE coast, which is expensive to live. Need to work off the clock often. If a trainer doesn't teach well, you'd better learn it on your own else get canned. Out of a class of 11, only 3 went to the last week.

Vantaggi

It is a job that pays.

Svantaggi

They will promise you opportunities that don't exist. The company they contract you to will promise you work that you will not be assigned. I was a Java Consultant with a masters degree in Math and certificate in full stack and I was shoved into a manual testing position that required zero coding and constantly dangled automation in front of my face. When I was asked to look at Selenium, I studied it in some of the copious amounts of downtime i had and was reprimanded during the next meeting for 'wasting company time'. I moved from Texas to New Jersey for my first position. After contracts with the company were terminated, I was pulled off my assignment only to be abruptly fired for "lack of geoflexibility" despite willingness to move to several places they do business including NYC and even Denver. There is no accountability from them as the only response they give is "the decision is final". There is no way to appeal a blatant lie. Their company has no integrity and side with business majors over people that know how chemicals and physics and electrical components work just seem like bad life decisions. They will say you can reapply but they won't hire you. They'd full of it at every angle.
