Pros

Free training, free food, free housing.

Cons

Treat you like children, some staff shouldn't have jobs. There is no "work life balance". They dumb down the program more and more, in most cases you'll never go through the trainign program you signed up initially to go into. Most people are now leaving without Drivers License, and most apprenticeships wont pick you up, because quite frankly, you most likely wont have a car, etc. after leaving the program. Staff are HEAVILY incompetent, at Edison Job corps they are worse there than any other of the 3 Job Corps Centers I've been too.
