Snapology

i love working with the kids at snapology while the often meet the end goal and get the bigger picture of their builds it is rarely done in the way you expect. In this job you get to see kids creative and curious minds go to work whether it's in a workshop setting or just free play. Unfortunately, that doesn't make up for what this company lacks. To be fair this is from my experience and my location i know not everyone will share my thoughts i just want to offer them for those who may be doing research into a possible job with snapology. Management is by far the hardest part of this job, from my experience, they always think they are better than their base employees, that they know everything there is to know and don't care who thinks they're wrong. My best advice there is avoid them whenever you can. Other than that the pay is bare minimum for the work you do even in the summer and through the school year Youd be lucky to make 400$ a paycheck which is biweekly. In all honesty unless you are just looking for a summertime job for some extra cash Youd be better off going somewhere else.

Staff was super supportive. Great mentoring from my boss and coworkers were always helpful and kind. There was some pressure to make the "build" work (you are building with Lego engineering kits and you want the parents to keep coming back, so you have to make sure they finish on time). But the pressure was normal, as all jobs are going to have that (relatively speaking, the pressure was light and the kids were easy and sweet). Fun and enjoyable. Safe and clean environment. Would do the job again if I wanted a part time job. Would recommend to family and friends. Structured company, they let you take days off if you need to as long as you're diligent about letting them know ahead of time. Overall, I had a good experience. 

The shift Snapology of Troy are short, but decently paid. On a typical day between 6 and 20 children work through a curriculum to build specific Lego items. Some classes are held in local schools, or at a community center, now they also have a brick and mortar location in Troy, where they provide drop in childcare as well. I am very fond of the management and workplace culture, the owner and manager are kind, thoughtful, and friendly. The curricula that is used for Lego building, or Lego robotics is clear and easy for the instructor and even young children to do.  The hardest part of the job is that I live down in Detroit, so it’s a long commute. The most enjoyable part of the job is working with the kids. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Helping kids learn in a fun way.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Driving, and too many kids needing help at the same time.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Strict but fun. There are guidelines that must be followed. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Schedule based. Usually evening classes. Classes last only 1-1.5 hours per night, so if there is only 1 class, it’s not worth the travel time.

Let me first start by saying this is a franchised business, ANYONE, with money can open a Snapology. The Miami Beach location is run like an absolute circus. From not getting paid, to lacking materials, to being oversold on the number of hours you will work! This is not a job for someone with bills. If you are wanting something to do with your free time practically volunteering, go for it. The curriculum is awesome, the kids are great, the product Snapology has to offer is top of the line but the franchise owner is lacking direction and commitment to quality employees.

The manager is highly respectful always calls me Miss . I feel comfortable working here .I have only positive things to say about Management and Snapology . She is very educated and patient , understanding and friendly with everyone also  with special needs.  I would bring my child  here to play for day  camps .biirthday parties , etc good environment .Definately a no bully atmosphere..

What is the best part of working at the company?
The students are the best part. But unfortunately, the company is understaffed and unprofessional.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Over-enrollment of students. Understaffed. Unprofessional staff.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Unsupervised workers are always tardy, unprepared for lessons and sloppy workers.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Generally unsupervised by the employer so most workers are sloppy.

I am so glad that I found Snapology! I truly have nothing bad to say about working at the franchise that I do. The curriculum is excellent, the procedures for classes, camps and parties are well-organized, and above all, the kids love being there! The atmosphere is very supportive and appreciative of all staff. Hours can vary based on the time of year (after-school, summer camps, parties on weekends) but it’s a great place if you enjoy teaching and working with kids!

Typically we spend our after school sessions in this manner: first going over the different scientific aspects of what we'll be working on, then the rest of the time building model robots. For instance, we have one model, an alligator that opens its mouth, that uses a motion sensor and we discuss that. The most enjoyable part of this is seeing the kids not only have a great time, but learn new skills.

The job is fun but part-time with pretty scattered hours which makes it excellent for flexibility but not so great for job stability. The management here is by far the best I have ever experienced. The owner is extraordinarily fair, helpful, and generous. It is very clear that you are a valuable member of the team and that you are important both in and outside of work. If it wasn’t for my need for consistency and a more reliable schedule I’d never leave.
