Pros

Benefits, pay, personal growth, materials for teaching provided.

Cons

Depending on what site you work at, you may or may not have adequate time to prep for lessons, and you may end up doing other's job responsibilities. It may be difficult to stay in ratio. The employees may gossip a lot. Supervisors may play favorites.

It's great to hear that you found value in the benefits, pay, and opportunities for personal growth, as well as having access to materials for teaching. Supporting educators with the resources they need is a key priority. Concerns about site consistency, workload distribution, and maintaining ratios are important, and your suggestions provide thoughtful insights into potential improvements. Leadership is continuously working on ways to enhance fairness, communication, and operational efficiency across all locations. Ideas such as structured role clarity, better ratio tracking, and additional support during critical times are actively being explored. Creating a positive and collaborative work environment remains a focus, and strengthening team relationships through better communication and leadership engagement is a priority. Your feedback helps guide efforts to make meaningful improvements.

Pros

nothing positive to say about this company

Cons

upper management will never be seen, and HR is only available online. headquarters is about 25 miles away from me. I went a couple of times and requested to get my mileage reimbursed & it was been a good 6 months and I still have not received any check yet. also took some college classes that are also supposed to be reimbursed and nothing. a lot of other promises were made, and have management has yet to pull through
