Pros

Fridays were half days during certain months of the year

Cons

Really long days Really low base salaries Franchisee kept advancement opportunities advertised by the corporation a secret so she wouldn't lose employees. Change in bonus structure constantly so she never had to pay out when goals were reached Franchisee was never happy unless someone's head was on the chopping block

Pros

I enjoyed the work I did do. Working with the children and helping with teachers was fun and I got to socialize quite often with staff and students.

Cons

I was fired for missing one shift because my mother ended up in an accident. I did not get to explain myself for missing said shift and was told to think about my actions for 4 days before being let go. Extremely unprofessional.
