Pros

The kids are the only pro. you might think that the $11.25 is great but just you wait.

Cons

You'll have the entire management office worrying about licensing so much so that you'll feel like someone is right behind you o matter where you go. You cannot help the kids in anyway shape or form other than saying "hey it's okay dont worry" or telling them to stop crying. I've worked with kids for 5 years and i have never in my life worked in a place that is this anti-fun. You're not even allowed to speak to a parent about anything cause if you do then.....you're screwed. ALSO about the $11.25, you'll be working less than 20 hours a week so you would earn more at almost any other job.

Pros

Like many others, I found AlphaBEST on Indeed, and I was not sure what to expect. During my first year of employment, I worked as a Site Director, and I have since transitioned to a Program Support Specialist. I have been blown away by the generosity of AlphaBEST and the constant support and encouragement from upper management. You will be successful as an AlphaBEST employee if you are passionate about supporting children and making a difference in their lives. The company pays their employees extremely well and rewards their hard work whenever possible. (Think taco bars, gift cards, and more!) Very grateful for this organization.

Cons

If you know that you have no interest in working with elementary students, then this is probably NOT the job for you. Some students will consider you their best friend, and others will challenge your authority every. single. day. That is the nature of the job. At all times, however, you MUST offer your support to these kids. Some of the most disruptive students are just desperate for someone to care, and you can be that person for them! Do not dismiss students as "problem kids". Work hard every day to show them that they matter.
