Pros
During my six months in the management training program, I was able to learn a variety of valuable skills that will translate to the rest of my career. The management training program is a 6-8 month program that basically crams 3+ years of training into half a year. I'll be honest- its intense and hard work but nothing else compares to the skills I've been able to learn here. Coming into the business, I didn't really know what to expect or really what was going to be expected of me but in hind sight, it was the best professional decision that I have made. There are four different checkpoints to hit during the growth of this program, starting at entry level and ending in an executive management position. In this program, Project 30 teaches everything that pertains to management- the first and most important is SALES- yes, I said sales. Without this knowledge of how to generate profit for a business- that business would ultimately fail, so this is why this is the first skill they teach. They also teach different marketing systems, how to work directly with clients, how to build and manage a team of people, conflict resolution, how to recruit, training and everything in between. Honestly, those skills will help in any professional avenue I chose in the future but the most beneficial part of the program is the personal development that goes along with the professional development. I must admit- sadly, this program and opportunity is NOT for everyone. Its intense learning, fast paced atmosphere, team environments, hard work, long hours, sales, and learning how to train different types of people. This path speaks directly to those with an entrepreneurial spirit. But the amount of time, energy, and work put into this program- if you complete it- is worth every second and can potentially become life changing- where someone can potentially be placed in a position where they can own and manage their own business. With all transparency- if you don't like sales, this isn't for you- if you don't like people, this isn't for you- if you don't want to work hard (nights, weekends, and YES EVEN SUNDAYS!) this isn't for you. But if you want a chance to grow in a career where nothing else matters (education/experience) except hard work, good attitude, and a want to learn- and if you value growth, teamwork , and leadership- this could be an option.
Cons
The cons, and I'll be 100% honest- its a 6-8 months of hard work and long hours. I think owning that aspect more will help the perception of this company- its 6-8 months of hard work, long hours- weekends, nights, and Sundays but after that someone has the potential to move into an executive position. This company should turn this "con" into one of it's "pros"
