Pros

Kept very busy, everyday was something different. Students, families and co workers (except management) made working there worth it. Enjoyed the "type" of work.

Cons

Poor management, extremely low pay, long hours, cheated out of "paid" holidays, overworked employees. Executive Directors do not care about employees/customers, just the bottom line. No appreciation for employees. No life / work balance. Use and abuse everyone.

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.
