This is a cash grab scam
This is a cash grab scam on independent contractors. Initially, it's free to start. You just need your own tools and transportation. Your application / background check gets approved way too quickly to be legit. Then, before you can proceed to "training", you have to buy a crap t-shirt and badge that they call a uniform. After the training videos, you can schedule an over the phone test or pay for the open-book certification. Scheduling the over the phone test turns into you need contractor's insurance to take the test, which they offer at $39 for 3 months with reoccurring fees. If you ask to cancel the uniform before it even ships you will get "we cannot cancel it but if you prefer we cannot ship it at your request till your ready or ship it to an alterantive location", "we do not offer refunds. we can hold your order till your ready or ship it to someone else". One rep even suggested that I sell my ID badge and 'uniform' to someone else! Like it's a curse that I could get rid of by passing it on to someone else! And don't try to dispute a charge that you tried to cancel or you'll get, "we will then use your social and file a debts against your credit report lowering your credit score... We will then tack on a $200 dispute fee and send this to collections We will also file a police report against the information you provided (in your application)" The general consensus of their customer service reps on not refunding is "...since it would come out of the employees salary who issued the refund and the dispute would come out of the salary of the last employee you talked to this place sucks."
