In March 2017, the television show moved back to Velocity with a new season . </P> <P> The company has moved several times in its history, each time to larger spaces .

One former employee, Mauricio Hernández, who would go on to co-found the Mexican franchise of WCC, claimed in an interview with NPR that during the period of his employment at the California branch (2004 - 2009), he worked ten to twelve hours per day, six days per week as an undocumented worker, without Social Security or any other benefits, and that by so doing he "missed...the childhood of (his) kids ." </P>
