Good place if you need a job or experience, but not long term - Trade Instructor Adams & Associates Employee Review

Pros

Great staff and students. Its good to see growth in trainees and rewarding to see them turn their lives around. Its a scenic spot on Treasure Island with beautiful views in the heart of the Bay Area.

Cons

The salary is way low compared to other companies, including education, and Job Corps. San Jose JC run by another contractor easily pays $5-10k more on average per position. Its hard to move up, and when you do, the pay is almost not worth the extra hours and responsibilities. Some, but not most, of the students are entitled and won't change, using the program as a bed and breakfast. If you choose to work here, start looking for something else on day one and use this as a launch pad as you stabilize your life or gain experience.

Pros

A good place to work if no one else will hire you. Literally no one.

Cons

Bad pay, horrible management, very little job security. Everything is very disorganized, most of their systems don't work properly most of the time. Things get broken, and if they ever get fixed, it takes months. If you're looking for an opportunity to actually help improve the lives of at-risk youth (which, in theory, is what they're supposed to be doing), you'll want to work literally anywhere but here.
