Pros
Opportunity is literally laying all over the floor. If there's something you want to do, odds are, they'll let you do it and there's very little (if any) actual form of punishment if you mess up. You can teach, you can develop, or you can work in management...or all three without any real credentials.
Cons
Low pay; management will do their absolute best to make sure you don't make as much as is legally required unless you're a female or from India. No structure; management likes to give themselves titles that make no sense within the current company. If you have a problem (or see a problem), and you report it chances are it'll either get forgotten, ignored, or delayed until the very last possible moment. When that happens, upper management will get upset and want to know what happened and why. They have two meetings a week where literally the same thing gets discussed but there's actually nothing happening. To this day, I don't actually know if some of the people in management actually worked for Computing Kids or were just friends of the Owner and helping her out. Management is lazy; I literally found myself doing most things because I knew if I didn't it either wouldn't get done or it would be botched. Things that are supposed to be happening that don't happen get caught months after the fact. Curriculum is basic; the curriculum being taught is the most basic of teaching content. There's no real way for teachers to be able to accommodate students who are either already really advanced or super beginners. Content gets reused and very rarely updated. Some content, to my knowledge, has never been updated and, chances are, has been retaught to kids who already saw it but never told their parents or didn't care to. Very little support; because of the aloof nature of management, there is very little support for when things go wrong. You basically fix it yourself and then let them know after the fact. Updating them is pointless as they always forget and will guaranteed ask you about it months down the road.
