Pros

The children, the families, and a small group of coworkers, were seriously the only things that kept me around.

Cons

Poor pay compared to other preschools in the area; franchise-wide focus on paperwork and ridiculous "curricula" that does nothing to foster meaningful development in the children; very limited benefits; no set payscale (staff who have an unrelated, or no, college degree make as much compensation or more than those staff who are licensed, accredited teachers); franchisees who aren't required to have any knowledge about preschools or education before opening a school; franchisees who have no desire to spend money on their programs above lining their own pockets.

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.
