Pros

- Connections! You meet so many cool people in the center and get to build a community amongst members. We all help each other out. - Pay. For a part time job, especially as a college student, the pay is great and there are always opportunities to make extra cash through parties, camps, and other events - Fun. You quite literally get paid to have fun with your students and help them gain confidence.

Cons

- Hours. This is not a typical job and hours can be minimal and or odd. Classes are in the afternoons and the mornings. - Staffing. Coaches come and go and understaffing seems to be an issue occasionally. - Burn out. It's hard to pull up to work full of energy and perform every single day and it can certainly take a toll on you

Pros

I cannot vouch for every center since they are not all owned by the same people, but they all fall under the same stipulations from HQ. The same values we instill in the kids we coach are the values management looks for in their coaches. There is little to no work drama, everyone has each other's backs when covering shifts, and there is always an opportunity to pick up extra shifts as well as advance into higher positions. I have been at KidStrong for roughly 1.5 years and have received two raises and two 'level ups'. This is genuinely the best place I have ever worked, and the day I leave will be really, really hard.

Cons

"Requires" off-the-clock work, such as watching videos and studying slides to learn the courses before coaching. Also since shifts are set and we do not clock in, I tend to have issues completing closing duties and still completing shift reports before my shift is up. Although requiring these things to be done off the clock is illegal, it is definitely phrased as if you will get written up if these things don't get done.
