College Works Painting Informative - Do Not Choose College Works: An Ethical Standpoint
We have all seen the usual complaints about this company. College Works is noted for their carelessness about getting back to the customer, their indifference towards their painters, and the discrimination that goes on when hiring interns. The majority of individuals who work for this company are white males. Not a surprise.. This is the case for many businesses. Though, the thing that sets College Works apart from other internships is the lack of morals and professionalism from higher staff.
Put aside the recruiting process, the customers, the painters.. and look at the relationships between their employees inside and outside of work. Trips to Cancun and Vegas will surely catch any college students eye. But what happens when their workers take their relationships outside of work to a completely different level. A bit unprofessional, don't you think? College Works in Arizona certainly does not seem to think so.
The Vice President of College Works in Arizona should be called out for her immoral and dishonest actions. This woman lacks the maturity and principles to keep a professional relationship with her fellow workers, specifically interns. She gains their trust by giving them guidance about the business world and takes advantage of their dependence by sleeping with them. Disgusting.
This is the case with many other Vice Presidents and District Managers of College Works. California, Texas, Illinois - you name it, they did it! Why is this allowed to go on? People see it happening, yet they do not say a word. This is the wrong kind of loyalty, the wrong kind of mentoring all together.

I'm not sure what your point is here. You said a lot without saying anything
Posted by Starlord on 2011-01-03:
You make some pretty strong accusations here. Can you back them up with proof? This has been discussed here several times, but some people never seemt to get the message. Unless you can prove what you say, you could be held liable for libel. People writing reviews should stick to the facts, and keep their moral judgements to themselves.

"Unless you can prove what you say, you could be held liable for libel."
Absoulutely not true. The burden of proof lies with the injured party to prove the statements false and also to show harm as the result of the statements. Also hyperbole such as "lack of morals and professionalism ", "A bit unprofessional, don't you think", generally is not grounds for defamation.
This review is way too vague in 'who','what', 'where' and 'when' to ever be the genesis for a defamation suit.

do the "harmed" college students feel the same way as you? I dunno but some college students arent always offended by the lack of morals from the female in charge

i agree... it's too vague.
can't tell if this is from a customer who had an issue
or if it's from someone who just wants to make the company look bad for... whatever reasons

"The majority of individuals who work for this company are white males." Well then that explains it. In the eyes of the liberals, they are automatically a bad company. They are morally obligated to get out there and employ more illegal aliens, then they'll be OK.

ROFL.
good point obs. i wonder if this "review" was perhaps racially or politically motivated.
it sure doesn't sound like a consumer review though.

Perhaps she used President Clinton as a role model. He was called out for working with an intern after hours.
Some specifics would really help strengthen complaint, but then it would edge into libel. Hard to achieve anything IMO.

Relationships outside of work are exactly that - outside of work. As long as they do not interfere with the work at hand, no harm no foul.

Bill's relationship didn't interfere with his work at hand, IMO.

Yes, this review is vague. This website specifically stated that if I mentioned any names, my review would be removed.
"In the eyes of the liberals, they are automatically a bad company." No, in the eyes of any ETHICAL human being, they are a bad company. I never mentioned politics. What does my political standpoint have anything to do with this review? I have been told by people who work for College Works that they will not hire certain "types" of people. So Obs, are those the only two choices? White males or Illegals? I have been told by one of the interns that they did not hire a Spanish male because of his "accent" The intern pointed out that the male was qualified, but his accent would interfere with work.
These sexual relationships do interfere with work. Any intelligent person would know that sleeping with a manager or boss of any kind can help you move up through that particular company. Sleep with your Vice President, so you become a District Manager? Where can I apply?

I bet Bill Clinton could find a position for you.
Posted by benroe on 2011-01-08:
I love how you're using a dishonest man like Bill Clinton in your "retort". Maybe he and this VP should get together. He would surely have more in common with her than with Hilary..
Posted by ript on 2011-01-08:
Hey ben, you were the one who asked where you could apply, just trying to be helpful in my "reply." Can you name one honest politician?
Posted by benroe on 2011-01-08:
Haha This is true! It's too bad he isn't in office or I would definitely have a new job

sounds like the poster was turned down for a trip to vegas and a sleep over from the vp and is going after revenge!

Whay are the only comments posted on only two dates? Company disinformation?
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2011-07-01:
"Disinformation"...LOL, that's cute Brad.

I can actually back the original poster up. I also know that many of the employees search for the same things that potential clients tend to search for in an attempt to debunk any negative reviews.
I know for a fact that the relationships between the supervisors and their subordinates can be very unethical. Including, the purchase of alcohol for minors, which they often consume with their subordinates.
