Pros

The mission is great, shape kids to become the future. You work with great instructors and Managers. You work from home.

Cons

Honestly, there is not enough space to list all the cons. Leadership is a joke. When I say Leadership, I mean the Founding Couple. The CEO has no self awareness. His actions are borderline unlawful. He makes snarky passive aggressive comments and thinks by laughing or attaching a smiley face, it makes it OK. He is a micromanager to his core. He has no trust in the people he hires. Even for his most loyal employees. He does not care about his instructors, To him, they are lucky they have a job, so let's work them to the ground and not reward them. The bonus structure for both Management and Instructors is laughable., He looks for reasons not to pay them out. He drags along the timeline for paying out bonuses so that people leave before they can get paid because his rule is you have to be a current employee to get your bonus, even if the hard work you put in was 4-5 months ago! I gave up my bonus to pay for my instructors who deserved a bonus. He will nitpick on every single thing and find the negative in your work. A very loyal Director worked so hard and so much but got flack for the smallest things that they would end up leaving meetings crying, and the CEO wondered why. It is crazy how one person makes the whole workplace toxic. Whenever these things get brought to his attention, or if someone says things don't make sense, he will literally say "It does make sense" even when people are telling him they are confused. CEO would rather ask his team to leave positive reviews on here instead of striving to organically create a better culture.

Dear former manager. I am sorry you felt this way. The reality is that we are a mission driven organization and have very high standards for honesty, performance and the service we provide to our customers. We know that it is hard for those who do not align with that mission and performance standards. Since you have left, the company has organized around a core team of its best employees. Everybody is focused on the mission, everybody shares the high bar of performance. There is no more wining, no more slacking. People take ownership and pride in their jobs and we reward people for their success. We are one great team. For some time, you have provided good value to Coding with Kids. However, I trust your departure was the right step forward for you and for Coding with Kids. I wish you only the best in your future.
