the first thing that tipped me off was that odd "credo" they have published on their website -- http://www.georgesmay.com/html/about_us/about_us_our_credo.cfm
Too many mentions of "free world", "free society", etc. -- sounded almost cult-ish.
Then there's the repeated mention of this thing called an "Institutional" (a multi-page boiler-plate solution mantra) that starts to sound pretty silly. |

Training days with trainers of varied experience and own management styles that has been with the company of less than four years. Most often, each speaker or lecturers are contradicting with each other. The first day is merely getting more information on you, i.e. you are forced to call your insurance agent to change your car insurance liability to $500,000. At the end of the second day, each trainee will be given a confusing assignment taken from the lectures of the different lecturers with conflicting information on how to handle the client. Beware of the assignment this is their excuse to cut you off the program by telling you ??We decided you don??t belong to this program since you did not understand the question of the assignment. We are not willing to let you bring to our client with your mediocre talent. In retrospect, do not intimidate the ??main trainer or the one that explains what is in their Manuals and Procedures by showing your degree in MBA because you will be the center of his ridicules that the position does not need an MBA to bring in to the clients. The trainer will specifically tell everybody that most of their clients have a third grade education of understanding who will be confused of textbooks recommendations. All the while, each lecturer is telling the trainee that GSMIC has its own business models to arrive to a solution to each of their client??s problems. The main trainer have the audacity to tell everybody that he drops out of MBA school because he never understands the concepts of what the business schools were teaching. As he quote ??working with our clients is equivalent of MBA training. This is a quotation coming from the trainer who sounds and acts like a second hand car sales man. No class or sophistication, this company I tell you. Do not even bother.
