Pros

access to their learning materials, built in fifty cent raises for every level of the curriculum you complete.

Cons

poor pay for skills required, poor hours even for a part time job. poor pay in general, considering usually the max amount of hours you can work a day is 4 and you probably won’t be scheduled often enough to make any meaningful money. the raises are made negligible by the amount of time it takes to go through the curriculum and the low weekly hours.

Pros

You get to work with kids and see the joy of helping them learn a new skill and seeing them create things with that skill.

Cons

I worked at the Barrie franchise location and neither the Barrie management, nor Code Ninjas as a company, have any idea what they're doing. They hire you on the appearance of a fun, part-time job working with kids to teach them coding, while learning the same skills yourself. But in reality, they expect you to assist with the running of the company or franchise, even though you're only getting minimum or just above minimum wage! And if you complain about, they brush you off until they get fed up, at which point they let you go!

Pros

The concept of the company is amazing. Seeing the children learn and understand coding is rewarding and the families really show their appreciation.

Cons

Lack of training and direction. I’ve had to consult with other centers to find out how to do Day to day tasks because an SOP doesn’t exist and the training provided is minimal and vague. It’s pretty much the blind leading the blind. You just have to learn from your own mistakes. Oh and the hours are outrageous, working 60+ hours a week/6 days a week. However some locations have owners that are more involved and help with the hours.
