Consulting Solutions Network Michael Brown Michael Brown lies about his educational offerings to sucker consumers into taking his shoddy classes. Austin Texas **Author of this report is NOT CONFIRMED**

Michael Brown, owner of Consulting Solutions Network of Austin, TX tries to pass himself off as a good Christian businessman.  However, this is merely a veneer for a deeply greedy and incompetent liar.  

 

He makes promises on his website of helping his students with job placement activities, yet makes excuses and postpones meetings repeatedly, making it very difficult to get any help.  

 

Also, he is in the office less than half the time and purposely makes it very difficult to attain the help that he promised when he was taking your, Austin City's, or the federal government's $7000+ for his shoddy classes.  

 

He only cares about those who are thinking about giving him tuition, not the ones who already have paid tuition.  He left me sitting in his office for an extended period during a scheduled meeting so he could scam two other people into taking his classes.  He even admitted when he returned to our meeting that new customers were more important than ones who have already paid.  He actually said that.  

 

The communication between Michael Brown, "professors" (a term I use lightly, more like dropouts) and other administrators is very poor.  Whenever a problem happens, it's not handled promptly, professionally or properly.  Any effort Michael Brown puts in is half assed, cheaply and lazily done, drastically reducing the quality of the customers' "educational" experience.

 

He recently had his complete staff quit on him because they hadn't received raises in the 8 and 4 years they had worked there, respectively.  He wouldn't allow them to take vacation time that they had earned.  He also broke the law by not paying time and a half for his workers' overtime hours.  The same government agency (Texas Workforce Commission) who is bound to uphold these overtime laws are the same ones who refuse to take Consulting Solutions off of their class offerings list, even though they know Michael Brown's program is no good.  

 

Some classes he is offering are outright obsolete, yet he continues to sale false promises to desperate Austin area citizens in hopes of bettering their job prospects after taking the low quality classes at Consulting Solutions.  

 

The Java program is two versions behind and no plans to upgrade to the more current Java version 9.  

 

I have presented only a portion of the myriad problems I've experienced at this terrible school.  Please do yourself a favor and DO NOT TAKE CLASSES FROM CONSULTING SOLUTIONS NETWORK OR DO BUSINESS WITH MICHAEL BROWN.
