Seeking SDR Positions/ SAAS/

I really hate to be this person but somebody has to say it. I joined Elevate in March with the hopes of breaking into tech and landing a job to start my career. The first 7 weeks were great actually. My teacher Elliott Garcia taught the basics of cold calling, emailing, personal branding, etc. Then suddenly, my classmates started showing up less and less. The last few weeks of the program, I was the only one attending class. Which on several occasions my teacher, Elliott Garcia, showed up to class with nothing at all to teach. Which is unacceptable! If that wasn't enough, the payments for the program were due before the program even ended. I was told by Robert Holbrook, the person who recruited me, that the payments would not start until I landed a job. Furthermore, I have yet to receive a copy of the enrollment agreement that I supposedly signed from Norman Rodriguez. I showed up to class, did the homework, scheduled time after class. I exceeded expectations. My entire class imploded, I was lied to, and most importantly wasted my time with this establishment. If you are a part of Elevate I highly encourage you to get out while you can. Norman Rodriguez does not have your best interest at heart and is only interested in getting 12k from you. Norman Rodriguez will not get away with this. Legal actions will be taken. At the end of the day you cannot do people wrong and expect them to not say anything. I wish all of you well on you IT journey and hope you never have to experience what I have.

You’re not the first person to have an experience like this with the company mentioned. I have seen text messages and proof of the negligence coming from this program. There are always two sides to every story but when you’ve got a choir of people singing the same experience… It’s time let people know so they can be cautious before making a commitment.

I am so sorry to hear about your experience. I am currently recruiting for multiple SDR-type roles in IT. I am excited that we are connecting to take a deeper dive into some roles that we currently have available.
