Is this Charlatan still trying to run a "school?"

Pros

Staying in touch with the large volume of staff that did not stay for more than 3 months.

Cons

Where to begin?! The owner is a complete con artist through and through. I mean, look, he saw that his ratings were taking a dive on Glassdoor so he had the last remaining 3 employees each write a "nice" review to try and improve his image. He was hovering at 1.0 and probably coerced all three to give his ego a 5-star rating. Either way, here are the verifiable facts. Yes, he did lose the "school" their VA certification because he lied tot he VA through fraudulent advertisement. He really thought that they would not catch on. He once bought a house to open to Vets and during a holiday period, a student Veteran was having an issue with GI Bill and he instructed his staff to throw him out of the house on the coldest day of the year. He really cared less because his $30,000 a month that he pays himself from the tuition was in jeopardy. No remorse whatsoever. Now he preys upon students that have immigrated from other countries. Having his "team" convince them to either take out enormous loans (that are WAY beyond the value for that institution) or convince them to enroll in government programs so that he can at least get SOME money. Vital staff members are discarded immediately if he feels that his "golden goose" is threatened and now I heard that the one staff member that was working there the longest finally gave up on his "mission" and just left the company. What does this tell you about the institution? Their transcripts are NOT worth the credits that they advertise, they have been called out on that lie multiple times. There is no structure in the curriculum. If you want to spend upwards of 15k and have three different VIRTUAL instructors, be my guest. The owner's most used phrase.."I will sue you!" Also, do you know what their employment rate is for graduates? Less than 1% as of recent. 1%?! How is that even possible?! Hearing from students, there is NO interest by employers to participate in their so-called "Demo Days." It appears that even Saint Louis employers have wised up to the quality of the education that is offered.

Pros

The owner is a scam artist. Will not pay his people what they are owed. The entire place is a joke that should be shut down when the VA figures it out.

Cons

RUN this place is a joke

We take reviews written about us seriously. The one we do not take serious is one when a person who tried to defraud the organization lots of money and then got caughtand stopped. Then has the audacity to write a review blaming others. Per state and federal laws, any legitimate monies owned must be paid. While at Claim Academy, we asked that all employee must follow the guidelines written in policy and employee handbook. But when someone said they spent over $3000 with no receipt and no evidence for the expense, that it is a legitimate expense. It is just a bogus attempt to defraud our organization. This so called expense is not within travel policy, not in handbook and was not approved by any of the three Vice presidents we have. To blame this on the CEO is childish and ridiculous.
