Pros

Bonus opportunities are THE pro

Cons

Poor onboarding process. Minimal training. No supervision and support for new directors. Very reactive vs proactive with issues. Does not see the big picture as a company- only focused on the day to day. Gives expectations but minimal tools. No feedback from higher ups. Lets employees drown with work and lack of direction leads to it being the Director’s problem instead of the team’s point of focus. Management puts people in positions that’s are not the right fit- talks of not wanting to force people into positions that don’t work- but does it left and right. Poor overall moral due to poor management.

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.
