Hey there, this is Michelle from Right at School. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that the pay has felt competitive for your area and that the role works well for students. Many of our team members value the flexibility that our programs offer. We do understand that the part time nature of before and after school programs means hours can be limited and we know that isn’t the right fit for everyone. I’m sorry to hear that your experience with management was inconsistent. We know how important supportive leadership is and are continuously working to develop our leaders so they can best support their teams. If you would be willing to share more about your experience, I’d love the opportunity to connect and learn more. You can reach me at michelle.keene@rightatschool.com. Thank you again!

Pros

* Opportunity to gain early childhood education experience.

Cons

* Poor hours with little flexibility. * Extremely high turnover due to inadequate training and lack of support. * Toxic, cliquey work environment. * Program managers and some shift leads were unsupportive and often made staff feel suffocated. * Educators received little meaningful support while being expected to manage chaotic programs. * Inconsistent quality of coworkers; some displayed unprofessional behavior around children. * Upper management was dishonest or unclear about payroll, expectations, and available support. * Low staff morale negatively affected parents’ perception of the company. * Frequent micromanagement instead of coaching or mentorship. * Communication from some managers was often condescending, aggressive, or focused only on mistakes. * Management rarely checked in to offer help, instead focusing on criticism. * Some leadership styles escalated children’s emotional situations rather than de-escalating them. * Certain managers appeared quick to assume children were acting maliciously instead of understanding the situation. * Overall culture left staff feeling undervalued, uncomfortable, and unsupported. * Lack of investment in employee development and long-term success. * Poor leadership contributed to burnout and made retention difficult. * There was an employee with a dangerous criminal record that went unnoticed by management for some time.
