The pay is very low. They start you at $13.26 an hour, and this is where you stay. I guess they don't believe in raises. Not only that, but they expect you to have a college degree and want people with teaching certificates. You could literally go work at a Whole Foods or an Aldi and make more money. This is pathetic considering how much they charge parents for their services. They are charging between $5,000 and $15,000 per kid. The management all has high salaries and great benefits, but anybody working here hourly as a teacher probably qualifies for food stamps or has another job. This is a huge company that makes millions of dollars, but their underpaid workers do all the work.
Management also does not want you to move up in the company. If you are a good teacher, they want you to stay where you are. I applied for a management job at my location, and I only met with the center director, and my "interview" was basically him telling me how he didn't think I was right for the job. He didn't even know what I did there nor did he know what I did for my other job. All he could say about me was I was one of their best teachers and I came on time. That was all he had to say about the matter. He hadn't even looked at my resume and I assume he hadn't read my personal statement. He had a whole stack of resumes printed out that were sitting in front of him and he hadn't even bothered to print out mine. They only "interviewed" me to make sure that WHEN they didn't give me the job that I didn't get mad and quit because they needed me to teach so they could make more $$$$$$$ off of me. I cut my hours way back and got more at my other job (plus my other job pays me about $5 more an hour), and I am transitioning out of there. Don't think by working here and working hard you are going to move up the ranks. Ever. Then they hired this girl with a bachelor's (I have an MA) and fewer years of teaching experience than me to do this job. Because reasons.
Scheduling is haphazard. They are slow during summer and won't put anyone on your schedule for a couple of weeks, and then all of a sudden, you have students.
I only recommend this to someone who doesn't need to make very much money and who is maybe bored or who is just out of college and needs to build up a resume.
