Pros

The children and my co teachers. I had/have a great relationship with the kids and the parents. I learned how to multitask. I had my son enrolled and he built a few friendships during his short education there.

Cons

It was a stipulation of employment to sign a contract with a $500 penalty for leaving before the end of the academic year. The classes were overenrolled. Some teachers in preK didn't even have a college degree. Lots of shortcuts taken with cleanliness and safety. I withdrew my son and quit because of overenrollment.

Pros

The kids are great and the teachers are cool too.

Cons

Management has issues with micromanaging. You can be 3 min late to work and you could be fired. Ridiculous. They expect you to cater to them and put your life on the back burner. They also hire a lot of college students so I guess they expect everyone to be as flexible as college students who usually don’t have any real obligation outside of work. The hours also very inconsistent and not full time as I was hired for. Unorganized as well.
