Pros

Enjoyable summer with lots of character building experience. Working with the campers is a blast, and the pay is good.

Cons

Condensed summer work comes at the expense of long hours. Not many opportunities for breaks. Also, housing at some locations isn't great

Hostile Work Environment & Narcissistic Upper Management

Pros

Great Mission, Great Co-Workers, Great Students

Cons

TechCrunch sounded the alarm on the company's recent mass data breach, which included children's personal info and user records. The company carelessly leaked nearly a million user records in a data breach months ago, and they still don't even have the decency to notify parents about their children's personal information being stolen? 1️⃣ Passive Management by Exception Style - Upper management won't fix issues until they blow up. It doesn't matter if you tell them what you need in order to do your job, you'll have to fail horribly first before you get what you asked for. 2️⃣ Transactional Mindset - The company isn't looking for win-wins externally or internally. If you bring up a potential issue, it's you versus them, only win-loss in their minds, and they'd rather get rid of you than address the actual issue itself. 3️⃣ Do More with Less Mentality - This company cares about doing more, not doing much of anything well. If you have a sense of pride in your work, I wouldn't recommend iD Tech. They'll overwork you, and underpay you. 4️⃣ Pride over Scrappiness - The CEO tries to float "being scrappy" as a positive to make up for the company's constant pivoting due to poor business decisions when doing research and making proactive, well-informed decisions would prevent a lot of the dumpster fires and spontaneous layoffs happening here.

Pros

The coworkers are fun people and sometimes it's rewarding teaching kids about something you enjoy. If you like being with kids you can see them 10+ hours/day or 24/7 if you're an overnight instructor

Cons

As a commuting instructor I was working 10+ hours in a day, and that's only the hours I was onsite. I was also expected to prepare lessons and write "diplomas"-personalized cards praising each student on their individual accomplishments and positive personality traits- on my own time. If you're an overnight instructor you have to spend the full day from 7 to 11 with the kids. While that was going on you would need to always have a positive face in front of the kids. It feels exploitative. In addition, the material we were expected to present was way too advanced for the age group they were giving it to. Scratch was for 7-9 year olds. At 7-9, most of the kids didn't understand the idea of a mouse with a right and left click button. Stuff that severely limited their ability to learn scratch.
