A scam, a pyramid scheme, a lie. Through an intricate brainwashing process, the company tricks college students into providing them with free promotion and labor, and providing innocent homeowners with god awful paint jobs. Even worse, College Works has an entire corporate branch made just to go online and promote the program by posing as satisfied college students. They compose false testimonials and make fake accounts for online forums to argue with complainers and people who call them out. There are considerable chunks of their website devoted to refuting claims that their program is a scam.

I got an internship with College Works Panting! There were so many rigorous interviews and training sessions, but they said they want to hire me as a manager!

A painting internship located across the continental United States that offers college and university students a chance to learn real life business experience. This internship is not for the faint of heart or those looking to skim the internship surface. If you don't come to work, then you will have wasted your time and the companies. Learn skills such as sales, advertising, marketing, entrepreneurship and communication. As an intern you will be responsible for all business aspects of a residential painting business. An attention grabber for any resume'.
College Works is the largest entrepreneurial internship in the United States.

Largest college internship in the United States. Teaching students how to manage and operate their own residential painting business in neighborhoods in more than 19 states from California to Massachusetts. This program is legit because they train and teach you how to manage your own business venture, and they don't ask you for any money for start-up. They provide the means necessary to build your company from the ground up. The profits depend all on the student, how much work and effort you put into their business will determine how much salary they take home a week. The residential painting business is about customer service, and hard work.
The College Works Painting internship is a unique and worthwhile experience if you are looking to run your own business.

Misleading
Scam
These people have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars filling the internet with LIES. They speak at schools, post ads on Craigslist, and I honestly think these people are brainwashed in to believing their own lies.
Tell motivated college students that they will make tons of money over the summer and convince them to rush in to signing contracts and selling innocent homeowners a crappy paint job.
You end up investing your own money in an internship. BIG RED FLAG. This money goes to rich CEO's.
Go read REAL testimonies of people who's college lives were ruined by this SCAM.
A lie that will make you lose money.

They ask you hypnotizing questions like,
We are interviewing 50 people today. (LIE) Does College Works Painters sound like a competitive job that you would be interested in?
We are a company that has lasted 17 years, does that sound successful?
We want to you to sign this contract to ensure your business promotion. Does that sound productive.

A company that seems to good to be true, and guess what it is. They claim all sorts of things arent true including, but not limited to: Pay, # of hours working, time alocated for jobs ect. The company lie's to the managers (aka "interns"), who then lie to the painters, and in the end nobody is happy. With The managers geting no where near what they are promised by the company due to equipment expensis employee payment ect, and the painters working rigorous hours to make a schedule that is set so they can make below minimum wage. DONT DO IT!
