Pros
The Good: -Schedule: M-F day stops at 4:30 -Pay: It's ok (but they will do everything possible to avoid paying bonuses)
Cons
The Bad: -Management changes frequently. I had 3 different "managers" in 11 months. Each time they say "we fixed that problem, this new manager is better" -They pass the buck; it's always the last person they fired fault, but now its "fixed" -They can't pay their bills. The trucks are always in the shop and won't get released until 160 will pay the bill. The internet was shut off on my last day with students in the class room because of 4 months of non payment. -They are extremely dependent on students getting funding through government funding. When that funding is frozen (as it was for 4 months in 2024) or when they loose funding sources because they are banned due to non performance because they can't keep trucks running or instructors, (as it was for 6 months in 2024) then enrollments are low and it will be your fault. -They have an outside lender that requires a 680 credit score to get a 7k loan. -Most of the sales appointments will be unemployed looking for a grant. -You are required to sell the program even when you KNOW you can not instruct because you don't have instructors or working trucks. Ultimately, if you want some quick money take the job and get your paycheck while you look for something better. The average BDS last 3-6 months. My location was opened for 2.5 years and there were 3 BDS associates before me and I was there 11 months. Don't expect this to be your new career or an opportunity to make a difference. Don't drink the orange Kool Aid.
