Last year, the training department got extremely bogged down over the holidays, and fall new hires were taking 6 months to go through, with long breaks. Not very efficient. Turns out, senior instructors, APDs, and LCAs take vacation during the holidays! Go figure! It's hard to cram lots of people through with little instructor availability.
We've also had turnover in the recruitment office, one of the recruiters left the company, and they are looking for a replacement.
So bottom line, if you want to work here, and get an arbitrary rejection (computer dump), or hear nothing but crickets, be patient and keep trying. Long term, we are still looking at massive growth if 1/2 of what upper management is saying comes true.
I've recently heard 240 new hires in the next 12 months. Already confirmed classes for Sept 11th, Oct 16th, Nov 6th and Dec 11th.
