Pros

The company as a whole is awesome. I loved every moment of coaching and helping lead my team.

Cons

Each location is franchised. I learned halfway into my position there that this can mean whoever owns your location can do things drastically differently than every other location. With that said, my feedback as our head coach was taken here and there, but it wasn't when it came to managing the team as a whole. This caused a major riff between myself and our specific franchise owners. To this day, the location is still treading water and having a hard time keeping coaches.

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.
