I’ll keep it short, I was with L3 as it was changing over from CTC. Holy smokes are they cowboys. You are absolutely right in what you’ve heard. Nothing more than a number with a dollar sign around your neck.
They want you to meet the minimum standard and out the door as fast as they possibly can, regardless of how much your training suffers. Unless, of course. It’s cheaper to delay you and take other people’s money. Then they’ll do that, be safe they couldn’t even pretend to give a toss about you as an individual.
All they are good at is branding.
I have NEVER met anyone with a good thing to say about them.
