Pros

The families and children are wonderful!!!!

Cons

EXTREMELY overworked and underpaid. This company is ridiculous with their paperwork!! They claim to be "green", there's nothing green about them. They treat the employees like slaves and the children like cattle. They do not do what is in the best interest of the children. It's only about profit!! They "sell" this crazy curriculum to get the parents in the door. It's all fluff! To me, if you have to sell a curriculum like this, it probably isn't any good. The children get completely lost in all the paperwork that the employees are required to complete in a day. The "toys" are to be referred to as "learning materials". Hogwash! They are not even developmentally appropriate and very lacking in all the classrooms. Run from this company!!!!!!!

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.
