Pros

As a Site Manager, I have the perfect balance of freedom to be creative in carrying out my own program while still feeling extremely supported and HEARD by upper management. I've only known my co-workers since August, but they feel like family. The school I work at has become a second home and the families I work with continue to bring me so much joy AND challenge me to grow. The company itself is headed in an extremely positive direction in their curriculum, training, and overall organization. The best parts about RAS are the passionate, tenacious, and truly good-hearted people that you'll cross paths and make differences with.

Cons

The company is still young, so they are still finding their way. However, what's cool about this is that you'll feel like your ideas and input are really heard and make a difference, so it makes it (more than) worth it. If you are looking for a company you can grow with, RAS would be a great fit.

* 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.
