Phillip Strong Review of Gary Job Corps
Terrible place Would not recommend this location ...
Terrible place Would not recommend this location if wanting to attend Job corps.
Went here a while back and it was a nightmare. Staff were extremely careless and allow fights in dorms , alot of people try to act all hard and tough yet when there off the campus they act normal. WARNING if your going to the construction trades like welding , electrical , cement , hvac , warehousing ect , they have it the worst , Old dorms and 2 of them are open dorms. No one will respect you or your space. Other dorm members even in your cube will steal from you yet act like they are your friends. You Also eat lunch last and get the left overs. Its also full of adults and teens with felony and criminal records. Drugs are also imported on the campus due to people hoping fences at night. I also witnessed 11 people from my dorm which was electrical sneak and got into our cube & Jump and beat down one person from Hvac at nigtht when Hvac dorm was shut down. You also Do not have the ability to leave campus anytime you want too if you live on the campus. Even cab drivers will not come there to pick you up. When working off the campus in the construction industry , you will not receive any pay.... lame as hell.
If your going into the other trades like CNA , Accounting Ect , they get the nicer dorms and also they get to eat lunch first. when they go work off the campus they also get paid. Its like there treated like royal and stars. If going to this campus then do one of the two i stated above.
The campus alone can be pretty messy at times. You have the ghetto/hood type people there and "gary hoes" , You have the skater/emo type crowd and you also have the normal and loners aswell.
You do get paid bi weekly being there but Don't expect much.. You start around 25$ and the highest it goes is about 40.. They do not provide clothing for you but if you been there for some time , they do give you a clothing allowance that can only be spent at walmart aka hygiene and clothing stuff.
Pros if living on the gary campus
-Feeds you and housing
-Payed little every two weeks but its somthing.
CONS
Agian Careless staff.
Lots of drama and i mean alot
Non respectable roommates.
Can't leave off campus after working hours Even if your over 18
Cabs wont even pick you up
Gangs
- Lots of Theft = NEVER leave your electronics or valuables un attended.
- If you snitch or rat some one out , Don't think staff will protect you because 80% of the time they won't.
Conclusion
If you have no other choice as i stated above via homeless or probation ect , then go there and live on campus but do not get caught up in all the BS. Any crime you do is a felony and they will hall you off to jail.
If your someone who has choices via Car , lives close by , able to travel. Ither be a non resident or go to a diffrent campus.
Check this , If you want to go there for the wrong reasons , you will regret it lol trust me.
Just my experience and what i see
