Fun job, horrible managers

Business Outlook

Pros

Kids are mostly awesome to work with and camps are lots of fun! Curriculum is alright and somewhat helpful

Cons

Managers severely underpaid and did not pay for hours of trainings. Additionally hiring practices were sketchy and wages felt sexist- as an employee who had been working here for over a year, I was shocked and upset to find out when a male classmate no older or more qualified than me was hired and had a starting pay over $5 an hour more than me whereas I, an employee with over a year of experience, was getting offered a 25 cent raise on my already ridiculously low wage if I completed dozens of hours of unpaid training.

Business Outlook

Pros

Relaxed work environment, great staff, great mission

Cons

Horrible ownership at the Carrollwood location. Removed me from payroll and left me asking for months before notifying me that I was fired simply because I was 17 and someone over 18 applied.
