Pros

Pay is decent. Kids are cool.

Cons

They are incredibly disorganized. It takes forever to get the stuff you need when you start from your managers and they are snippy when you contact them. You are often called into virtual meetings with very little notice and these always occur at the same time that you have students with you. I have been added to meetings where the person who called it could not join because of poor planning and all of our time was wasted. Be prepared to be told you suddenly need something to be done in a very short window of time before your next shift. Do not expect to have the items you need to implement curriculum nor to get them in a timely manner if requested. Little to no training on how the program works. I have also been sent new curriculum details that I am expected to study in my off time without pay. The only reason I'm staying is to see out the school year with the kids, but I will not be a reapplying in the fall. My site director struggles with the technology that they are supposed to be using and also does not seem educated in neurodivergence and thus is snappy towards children with obvious learning disabilities because they are "not listening" or "misbehaving". I believe she means well but has also received next to zero training. It is advertised that you will get paid for training but that is at a rate of $10 per hour. You are paid for how long they think the course should last and not how long it will actually last. If 15 minute course will pay you $2.50 even if it takes you 45 minutes to complete.

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.
