Pluspunten

• Feedback: The company was always open to receiving feedback and generally attempted to make changes because of it. As an employee, we were also allowed opportunities to receive feedback in multiple ways. • Company Culture: Encouraged and empowered people to show up as their authentic selves. From parenting to having bad days, mentally - they were supportive. • Benefits: Remote Work allowed me to work from anywhere which was helpful. Unlimited PTO was amazing and they actually wanted you to take days off to rest and care for yourself or your family. Health benefits were great as well. PD stipend was great. • The People: Always willing to help, always willing to teach, always willing to collaborate. Everybody was genuinely nice, helpful, and easy to connect with.

Minpunten

• Lack of Transparency: There were obviously some executive decisions made that impacted the company greatly, leading to laying off half the company. I wish that there was more transparency about finances so people would be more prepared for what was coming. • Lack of Accountability (DEI): They talk a lot about their focus on DEI initiatives but did not really hold people accountable for attending sessions/conversations about DEI. •Constant Change in Priorities: It can be difficult to prioritize as there is always something changing or new processes being built as they go

Pluspunten

Classkick offers unlimited PTO which is a great benefit for work-life balance. I enjoyed working with almost everyone in the company, which was a huge positive.

Minpunten

Classkick management is leading the company into the ground. I joined Classkick because I believed they cared not only about their customers, but also their employees. As mentioned in the pros, I enjoyed working with almost everyone at Classkick, but due to poor management, Classkick laid off half of the company after assuring everyone one month prior that the layoff of an entire team (yes, another layoff) was not due to financial issues. The CEO unfortunately lacks empathy, social awareness, and interpersonal skills that are needed to help a company thrive. He also wants his hands in many projects at once, but lacks the knowledge to do so, leading to projects being strung out for very long, and him not taking the advice his company hired experts to give. Similarly, leadership was very absent at this company. Members of leadership have surprisingly bad communication, and did not practice Classkick's core values. I also felt the company had a strong emphasis on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the interview stages and liked to boast about being a very cultured company, but once work actually began, that seemed to go out the window. With half of the company laid off, I can't say I enjoy working here anymore. It's a shame because the product has potential, and it is helping a lot of students and teachers. Wish it was in better hands.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry that this has been your experience. I’m truly sorry. No excuses. The team deserves better and I am committed to getting myself and the company there. We have all learned a lot from this and one area we are certainly committed to improving is communication and transparency. In particular, we are doing weekly financial updates, and spending more resources and time on the leadership team to learn, collaborate and produce better and more helpful clarity for the team’s benefit. I am extremely grateful to all the team members who have gotten Classkick this far. Andrew Classkick CEO Help Teachers Be Awesome
