Pros

The people that you make are a big part of how your experience will go. I'm very thankful for the community that I found from the apprentices of the program.

Cons

This program could be so much more than it is. A very watered down system, with the right leadership and vision it would be a lot more of a prestigious program. It has potential, but leaves you with a bitter taste. The certifications? Great. The people who lead? Lacks diversity. Lacks culture. Lacks structure. The job network they state they "have" really isn't something of value. Surviving at a bad agency is something you can do without this expensive apprenticeship. Unless you get it paid for by your job, it is not worth it.

Pros

This program has taken my marketing career and skills to the next level. I've learned more hands-on training and had more experiences/coaching than I ever received with a four year college degree. I recommend this program to any hard-working marketing professional!

Cons

Requires a lot of hard work, you get out of it what you put in.

Pros

My peers were the only good thing about this program

Cons

FIRST they make fake job postings which trap you into the apprenticeship. They really are just out for your money. I decided I wanted to disenroll after finding a job (I knew I would have to pay SOMETHING) but they wanted me to pay the WHOLE $7,000. They claim that they've been helping for the past six months when in reality before you actually START the apprenticeship program you have two weekly calls for literally 30 minutes. Then its YOUR job to apply to 10 jobs a week. They had NO HAND in me getting my job, that was all me. I was under the impression that they would help set me up with partner companies but that's not the case until you absolutely can't find a job. The only reason they do this is because they're about to lose out on that person paying their tuition. ALSO if you quit the apprenticeship without a job and they find out y ou get a job in the 90 days after that (in digital marketing) they will still try and charge you the $7,000. You also think you are making really good connections with the staff but that all changes when you want to leave.
