I just made it through the boot camp. During many of the hundreds of calls I received, I spoke to several people that said they never received an email that contained a list of jobs they could apply for. I left the company after I stumbled upon this video: http://bit.ly/V447FZ.

I was not surprised to see that this company is not completely forthcoming with the people who call in thinking they are being interviewed for a job. In fact they are being persuaded to accept phone calls and emails from online colleges seeking to improve enrollment. I never could get verification if the application even gets forwarded to the employer.

The "Manager in Training" or MIT program is not designed at all to produce managers, it's 100% designed to bring in money. Let me give you an example. Out of 33 people in my class 16 finished boot camp (by design). They publish the numbers every day. Our class brought in well over $50,000 in revenue and close to $25,000 in profit. You may wonder how I determined the profit, one of the managers told me that the cost per call was $4 so it was easy to figure out the profit.

The MIT program is 12 weeks long and pays $500/wk (6 day weeks 9hr days on the phone. Some days were 12hrs with training). The average Rev per Person in our class was close to $3,500. This is a gold mine for this company. They are exploiting people on both sides of the ball. They tell you that you have a job but you don't, and then they tell people who call in that they are trying to help get them a job.

Finally, we had a director come in during the one week graduation party (they have to celebrate such milestones because you may not be around for another day) and he told us that we are truly just a few of 800-900 applicants accepted. He said they process applications of 800-900 per week. I felt great at first and then I realized, after watching hundreds more get hired, that we really were not such a select few but just as many as they could possibly train. I promise you that if they could put 800-900 people on the phones they would do it in a heartbeat. They just don't have a big enough building. If they don't get shut down first, they will find a bigger building.
