Pros
TRAINING Revature offers training and the training is good. You are paid to learn and paid to increase your skills while you interview with clients and await placement. Myself and all of the people I trained with were placed on a client project within two months of completing the training program.
Cons
PAY During training the pay is minimum wage and for me that was more than acceptable. But when I signed on with Revature I was led to believe that once I was selected by a client the pay would be 55K. It is not. I'm paid twenty one per hour, which in my area is not enough to live on, particularly for a single parent, which I am. In my area, a living wage is forty per hour. I worked two jobs during training but I can't work two jobs for the next two years. BENEFITS The medical benefit plan has a really high deductible. For a young person without significant health concerns, my health related expenses are unlikely to exceed the deductible. I was better off on Medi-Cal.
