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...

Pros

Very very kind and understanding management. I really like them as people. I've heard through the grapevine that there is dissonance among them sometimes but maybe that's normal, idk i've never been in a middle/upper management position. I've always been treated with kindness and empathy for my situations, and they will try to reach a middle ground as long as it doesn't come out of their pocket. Cool career advancing opportunities that I just never took advantage of.

Cons

OH MY do they suck at communication. Not all of them, but a couple ones yea for sure. They will always prioritize their pocket against your wallet. If you are looking for a full time director position this one is NOT it and barely pays my bills. It worked for some people but just didn't for me. In the interview for a director position ask them to be upfront with the hours specific to the location they are hiring you for. Maybe email it to them after idk just know that you will never get full time 40 here.
