* they let instructors go, some who had worked there since the opening, via email. Not even a call.
* demoted everyone before the layoff, so the salary base for unemployement and getting rehired was much 50% of actual salary.
* required to work without pay. Teachers are only compensated for class time, not cleaning studios, prepping music, staff meetings, adminstrative work like finding your own subs (the manager won't do it, and you don't get paid for it), time sheets (required to spend time doing it, without pay, even if you otherwise didn't work.
* racist and elitist management and clients. The HR person asked me where I was "from from" while checking my USA passport for the I-9. Heard the N-word used twice by two different class attendees. Sense of entitlement among attendees, especially parents of children, is mind boggling.
* we had the world's worst manager. luckily they got rid of that person.
* Never got a pay raise, review, or 1-on-1 with a manager
