      Pros

      If you love working with kids, this job is for you. For part time work, the pay is pretty good.

      Cons

      They run a curriculum based program and it is terrible. FIRST......an hour is way too long! The kids hate it! The last thing the kids want to do after being in school all day is what appears to them to be more work. They offer Art, Technology, Language, and Fitness. Whatever curriculum you lead is very micromanaged without much to any leeway to change. Art should be about art. Teach them to draw, paint, let them have free time. Language is NOT something they enjoy at all.....quite from a 4th grade boy..."this is the last thing I want to do, I don't like it. It is more work and I have been in school all day already". Technology should be about hands on, on the computer. Some of the time the kids do t even touch the computer. Fitness is pretty good......although there are some sports that are barely covered at all, and ones that the kids would prefer. The "Higher Ups" at corporate have been told that curriculum needs to be changed and that for the most parts the kids hate it, yet it stays the same. Every Friday they have what is called Fun Friday, yet they have taken the FUN out of it. The kids used to look forward to Fun Friday, but now to them it's just another day. What kid wants to do a Chemistry experiment in Fun Friday? Not many. Fun Friday should be about the kids! Let them choose! Who cares if they choose the same thing every week. It is their Friday and they deserve to do what they want(within reason).

      Pros

      Working with kids. Great co-workers. Pay is pretty good.

      Cons

      Management is bad here. My recommendation would be to go to Minnieland and find people that care about their workers. Supervisor is not present and does not support the staff. Supervisor does not even know employee names and has to constantly ask what your name is. Area Managers leave nonstop. There have been at least 10 office staff that have left in a year. Everyone that leaves posts on facebook how happy they are to be gone from the current supervisor. Policy changes daily. We are told to do one thing one day and then another the next and then another in a week. No stability.

      Pros

      Some flexibility. Fun because you can be creative and do fun activities with the children. They have a good curriculum.

      Cons

      Terrible management, no body knows what they are doing. No source of communication in the office. Terrible regional directors who are over worked and take their frustrations out on others. Very unorganized. SO MANY EMPTY PROMISES! Area managers work like 12 hour days, also are unorganized and have no sense of communication even though they are in the same room. They cut your hours or won't pay you for the hours you worked. So they edit your times of clock in and out and cut hours without consent from the employee. Favoritism like crazy. Everyone's jealous from one another. Spent most of their money on office decor and revoked and reduced budgets that were given to teachers because the company spent way too much money and then realized after so then they started cutting hours, reducing budgets, demoting etc...
