This is my first post. This is my first time being here. And I'm sure my "Subject" isn't a new one. I think I have picked the training facility. Just have to fill out the stack of papers they gave me and send along my check. They pretty much sold me by saying they are accredited and that others aren't as good because they're fly by night operations. Also sold on the 385 acre facility. And gave me a sheet (not signed) stating guaranteed job placement or money back, for attending open house. But before I dive in with my $500 and commit to $6,000... I want to decide on the company that I want to work for and that seems to be the biggest challenge. I want a company that will pay for my training, and I know they're out there and National will hook me up (with one of the 100+ companies they recruit for) ... but I want to be prepared when they show me the list of names... so I can pick the company I want to work for after doing my homework. They said Covenant was awesome... all for the women... but in researching today... the reviews sure say different! How do you go about picking a great company? The recruiters will tell you anything you want to hear and then some. But in the end.. reading the reviews... a lot of promises are made that aren't kept. And on this site, it explains that recruiters aren't going to be there after you sign on the dotted line. Short and sweet (little late)... what company do I want to work for? Can anyone tell me spectacular things about the company they work for and narrow my search? Please? Thank you!
