Pros

For young professionals who are looking to get experience in different facets of education, para-education, administration/ management, client-facing services, technology implementation, etc. this is definitely a company that will put all those responsibilities on your plate and force you to either sink or pull yourself up and get the job done.

Cons

No room for advancement in your position. Top-down management (corporate and regional) do not support center level management staff's positive work/personal life balance, health & wellness, professional ambitions, etc. No emphasis on creating a healthy work culture offset by demands of meeting unrealistic metrics. Directors often work up to 60 hour weeks with no paid overtime and no support staff. There is high turn over in the South Florida area and has been since about 2010-2011.

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.
