Pros

Very little. They do a good job of making sure everything looks pretty, and they are very friendly. But that’s about it.

Cons

Keep your kids away from this company. They over work their employees, do not provide adequate supervision, and try and take care of only the surface issues of what your child is dealing with. They do not promote based on fairness but rather if they like you and if you have done a good enough job of not making too many waves.
