A sinking ship - Avis employé Employee Classkick

Great team and great values

A lot of change and recent reduction. Needs better product direction and buy in

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.

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.
