I discovered Fragile Heart CPR by searching for IN PERSON classes THROUGH AHA, only to sign up &…read morefind out "due to covid, it's virtual." What should normally be $85 (on average) ends up being $125. I only agreed to this bc the 'closest' IN PERSON locations aren't so close. You receive the link for the videos and exams after you pay and they ship the box with inflatable "manikins" (mannequins.) *see attached photos* The AMBU bag doesn't even line up, there's no rise/fall of the chest. Not that it matters, you'll just say "give breath, look for rise/fall of the chest, continue with compressions" during the skills test part. You get a bracelet that blinks red until you've reached the desired compression rate and then it flashes green. There's nothing given for AED, you just need to state where to place the pads. They claim free shipping to send the box to you (so why am I charged $125?) and then to send it back -- YOU have to pay ($15.50) to do so-- unless your postal carrier advises you of the correct box to use and it will still get there the same time and you get a tracking number ($10.50 ***if in PA.) I will say this: any time I sent a text, I received a response within 24hrs. I received my card-- which is/was the goal, but I just don't like the idea of BLS classes being VIRTUAL and more costly! It doesn't make sense and it seems unprofessional. Also, upon returning the package, I learned that ANOTHER one was delivered to me. My postal carrier and I REFUSED the shipment. I called the company, they advised that there are no additional charges that sometimes more than one package goes out for the same person. Now you know what to expect. MAKE GOOD CHOICES! (Read: make a better choice than I did. Unless you like having stories to share with your friends.)

Communication has a lot to be desired and maybe it's because everything is virtual now, but I…read moredidn't have a good experience for $125... I received my CPR card which was the whole point so for that I will give one star

I interviewed today at Black Knight Security's downtown Pittsburgh office, and the experience was…read moreextremely disappointing and uncomfortable. I arrived on time, well-dressed, and prepared. When I met the interviewer, Melinda Staup, she gave me a strange look and did not shake my hand. Before the interview even began, I was required to take a urine drug test, after which the interview proceeded. I was then given what was described as a "personality test," but it felt less like a standard assessment and more like trick or elimination-style questions designed to weed candidates out rather than evaluate them fairly. This was followed by several pages of interview questions. With nearly every answer I gave, I was scrutinized and challenged in a way that felt excessive for a $16/hour, 32-hour-per-week overnight security position. I applied specifically for the overnight shift that the company advertised, yet I was questioned in a way that implied I wanted the shift so I could sleep. There were also assumptions made about me relying on public transportation, despite the fact that I drive and did not indicate otherwise. Prior to the interview, I completed extensive paperwork, including a 150-word essay on an exciting or emotional time in my life. During the interview, I was questioned as if I hadn't completed it -- even though I had. While I acknowledge I may not have answered every question perfectly, the overall tone and treatment felt unnecessarily judgmental and dismissive. As a Hispanic candidate, I left feeling that I was being judged more harshly than others might have been, including assumptions that I might be unsuitable for client sites. The entire process felt like a waste of time, especially considering the pay structure and the fact that the company does not pay weekly. Based on this experience, I would seriously question how other minority candidates are treated during their hiring process. I know my value and my talents, and I will continue pursuing my goals as an aspiring filmmaker. Unfortunately, this interview gave me a very negative impression of Black Knight Security
