Pros

- Cute and small Location, snacks in front - Wonderful kids and employees to work with - Fast pace, fun, and challenging exercises for both trainers and trainees

Cons

- They do not pay you for the rushed training (many hours online watching videos is not even mentioned to be paid for) until they know for sure you are going to get through - Staying after work or planning before sessions is not paid for either (and you need to do that if you want good documentation and a good session) - Sometimes bad communication/followup from administration (sporadic hours and scheduling, and we're told at the last minute when we get there sometimes) - For how fast pace and yet aggressive administration is (sometimes, my questions were not even answered. I could tell they just wanted someone to work), I wonder if they realize the trainers are the ones that basically represent the model. When you rush students and bang on the table to get them to go faster as an example, I wonder how much you are actually helping students. Other employees do it better. Yet administration thinks they are the example.

Pros

Their mission is admirable, the few customers that they do have are great.

Cons

The way the company trains and manages staff makes it difficult for employees to succeed. What they call "training" is not actual training, it’s mostly observing other trainers, with very little hands-on practice or guidance. Instead of giving clear direction, management tends to lead you along without truly helping you learn or improve. They also tend to sell you on a dream during the hiring process, painting the job as one thing, but the reality turns out to be very different. This leaves employees feeling misled and unprepared.Pay isn't great, hours are not the best, and it's not a stable job. On top of that, management often engages in gossip about other employees instead of focusing on building a supportive, professional environment. This creates unnecessary tension and makes it hard to feel secure or respected at work. Feedback tends to be more discouraging than constructive, and there is very little structured support from leadership. If the company invested in real, hands-on training, avoided misleading promises, and encouraged professionalism within management, this could be a much stronger workplace. Until then, those considering a position here should be cautious about the lack of proper training, unprofessional culture, and the gap between what’s promised and what’s delivered.
