TWS Jax
First of all, the company TWS I'm sure might be better in Tulsa, OK. but not here in JAX. I have had my stuff stolen here multiple times, and they don't give a damn about it. I was told at the beginning of the school by my instructor that it would be okay to leave the SCHOOL PAID AND GIVEN toolbox at the PRIVATE PAID school. I first had the lock stolen from my box, then my tig set, then the whole toolbox. I tried to get camera footage for when my tig set got stolen and each person I talked to just told me to go to another person. I went to Jay (Senior Director) of the school and was told "it's like leaving your car at Walmart and blaming Walmart for it getting stolen". No. It was like leaving my $850 welding box at my $23,056 (before federal aid) welding school funded by the damn government. They also have (at the time of this) a whole stand for putting your boxes on. They cannot say it's not for boxes because they had to specifically create it for you to leave your box at school. To be honest I would believe the school put those there to make you feel safe and get you to pay more by taking it themselves or not caring if someone else did. Another excuse was they "didn't know when it occurred" and "couldn't tell it apart from the others" when I had a date and time. Multiple people told me multiple different things. "Go to this person" "the cameras are being worked on" "we can't do anything because it looks too similar". When I also had my tig set stolen it was the end of the phase, and they made me redo it anyway which is $4,000. If I had another chance, I would move far away from TWS Jacksonville and never speak of it again. The housing is just so they can control you even more by treating you like a damn child. No candles, no extension cords, no pets, no this, no that, the only reason I picked it was because I am trying to make a career with no money, but I just want to die after this. Also, if you get your stuff stolen here "there's going to be assholes, you're a young cat you can make it back" -Jay, Senior Director
