I saw an ad in craiglist that they were hiring. So I called them. Mr. Michael talked to me in a way that he himself was hiring people for his company. He asked if i had any certificate. I answered in negative. He told me they would provide certificate, just I need to bring $80 with me.

That day I went to them and didn't find Mr. Michael (why? I am not sure, may be nobody by this name). Another person talked with me and I filled up some papers and gave $80 to him. After that thay gave a non-commercial reciept where i still owed $299. At the time of interviewing I thought that I was alone to get this job. That's why I gave my money to them, though I was in doubt.

At the very first day of class I saw that I was not alone there, at least 40 people were there to get job. They all came seeing ad in craiglist. Alas! why I responded to them while other company do same training for $50 only.

However on the very 1st day after fire guard class they charged me that I already did the class why I didn't pay the rest amount ($299) yet. I told them that I had no money with me, so pay them later. I didn't respond later.

Basically, my mistake was I should talk to them before the class and charge for the money back, though it might not work, I know.

I was quite skeptical at first. I did my research after my first day of training, and found more complaints then anything. I was extremely uneasy. I reported the next day to the office @ 62 William St, 2nd floor, in the wall street area, i spoke to a Mr. Edwards ( which seemed to be very kind ) trying my best to get a refund. Being that I started training i wasn't able to get a Refund for the $698 i paid for training. I had no choice, so i resumed my training courses. By the way, the instructor, Duane, is a phenomenal guy, he was the only thing that brought me to comfort about this company.

My five days of training was completed. I was issued a placement day for the following week. I reported to placement, met with the "human resource director", Ken Pollard, which wasn't that nice of a guy, but i guess he was doing his job. He gave me a sheet of paper, and asked for me to report to an office in Midtown. I followed his orders. Spoke to a gentleman by the name of Mr. Singleton. Two days later i was asked to report to that same office, to pick up a set of uniform. I've been on site for the past two weeks, with a starting pay of $12.78. I'm actually surprised with the results of this company, although I expected higher pay.

In conclusion, My experience with this company wasn't that bad after all. If you're not comfortable with any organization, not just cp securities, but any other type of agency, DO NOT COMMIT
