Pros

None. No Pros. I got out after collecting one month's commission, that's it.

Cons

This company is for-profit personified. Their recruiters are hired to convince down-on-their-luck, unemployed adults that IT is the hot sector, and that with one or two certificates from their training program, POOF they will be employed. In reality, they are recruiting students that have no business entering IT (no prior experience or certifications), they have no real connections to IT employers (Robert Half does not qualify as an "employer"), and their certifications only hold weight with real employers if the individual has prior experience in IT- and chances are, if they do, they don't need the smokescreen of 8 additional certifications to find their next job. Be wary of promises of easy credentials, employer contacts, and job readiness services- if it sounds too good to be true, it's because it is.

I am not sure this person worked at our company. We don't use, recruiters. because we don't to. We don't put people into student loans. Look at our website www.microtrain.net, there isn't any hype about if you do this then you make that. You won't hear us talk about how easy it is to get a job, because that is almost never easy. It's a process that takes hard work to get our clients, trained certified and hired. We keep it real. Come check us out.

Pros

MicroTrain is a great company to work for! I have worked for MicroTrain for 7 years and have the least seniority of all of my colleague's in the same role. There are several reasons why people stay. My co-workers and direct supervisor are the absolute best. They are very supportive, caring, and just overall fun to be around. They are always striving to help me become the best version of myself both personally and professionally. Additionally, the work we do is very rewarding. We get to serve those out of work by helping them reach their career goals as well as those who may be employed but looking to advance their careers. The staff truly has their clients best interest in mind and are the some of the most knowledgeable and experienced in the industry. Employees are supported in their pursuit of work related training as well. Furthermore, management is very accessible as well as understanding and supportive of a work life balance.

Cons

MicroTrain is a small company so there isn't a lot of room for advancement and the company benefits do not increase with length of service.
