There are no working bathrooms.

We stand in the freezing cold all day and sometimes do nothing.

No working heaters.

The instructor has cussed and screamed at us for not moving to the front of the class fast enough.

The recruiter has hung up on several of us when we have complained or asked questions.

They didn't dismiss class during an ice storm until it reached it's peak. They didn't offer me a hotel room and told me I couldn't stay at the school. My classmates had to help me out. We were dismissed at 11 and I got home at 7:30 that night. Saw several accidents on the road going home. I live a half and hour away, it took me an hour and forty five minutes to get there.

They told us to come to school today, the roads were frozen again and snow was coming down on top of it. When I told our director that the conditions were bad where I was he exclaimed that he drove to school for 2 hours at 60mph in this. He is getting paid for this, I am not.

I am just discouraged right now. Anybody else have these experiences too?
I don't want to quit, I am pissed at how unprofessional they are.
Wanted to vent.

What school is it? It's okay to answer -- they don't know who you are.

Great sig line!

I think you can answer your own question. Think about this: Would you treat someone paying you to go to your school like they are treating you?

Report to the BBB, your states regulatory body for schools.

R U N don't walk.

What state are you in, there's bound to be a better school near you. I've started to add driving schools to my carrierinfo spreadsheet.

Great sig line!

It's C-1 (Driver Solutions) in St Louis, MO

It's close to where I live and my friend went to it a couple of years ago. I found out that they have a high turnover rate with the instructors. This is a new director too. I talked to some of my classmates who went today and they said that they didn't do roll call and they were making them take tests they already took. :roll:

Also, I didn't mention this but, I got real sick my second week of school. M doc said it was because I was already sick and they had me out in the cold all day. He said if I would not have come home and went to him. I would have had pneumonia or something.

I will make some calls like you guys said. The first week the basement where the bathrooms were, were covered in toilet water too (if you know what I mean). That's why they won't let us use the bathroom because they won't pay for a plumber to fix the problems. They gave two of the students 50 bucks a piece to clean it up. :shock:
