Don't Work Here - Recensione dipendente - Instructor presso Building Brains

I've been with this company for 14 years and I love it. Good pay, easy schedule, a boss I can depend on! During the school year I work 3-4 days a week, but in the summer it is really busy. Plus working with Legos and children is fun. It's nice to use my teaching degree in a relaxed setting.

I have to lift tubs of inventory, so sometimes my muscles protest!

The kids you're teaching are fun and well-behaved

Kim Koenig shorted me on my first paycheck and didn’t pay me entirely for one of the weeks I worked. I filed a claim with the Texas Workforce Commission, who ruled in my favor and ordered Kim to pay me. She’s incredibly disorganized, so you never feel like you know what’s going on from week to week, and she often ignores emails and texts. Two of my coworkers quit early in the summer because this was too frustrating to deal with. Kim makes schedules and goes back on them later with no warning; she expects you to work weeks that she previously said you’d be off. Every week she delivers a mountain of equipment to your classroom and it’s your responsibility to spend however many hours it takes to load that equipment back into your car on Friday. All of this time is unpaid. Somehow, the supplies you really need are often missing. Half of the robots in one of the classes require magnets, but Kim seems to have lost all the magnets that go with the kits. $25 an hour seems nice, but even if she does decide to pay you without government involvement, it’s still not worth it.
