This was the worst job experience ever.

Pros

Working with children can be very rewarding and I have always enjoyed it - until I work for this company for a summer.

Cons

My manager told me to "drag the kids outside kicking and screaming" if I had to instead of letting them do crafts or other constructive things inside. Mind you, this was after they had already spent all morning at a summer camp. Those children didn't want to be on the go constantly. They needed a rest, but I was ordered not to grant them that.

There were unrealistic expectations for little pay.

Pros

The physical office itself looks welcoming. Lots of resources available on website. Hard working nannies. Hard working tutors.

Cons

*Low pay all around *Unrealistic expectations for recruitment of families and nannies *People are hired on without introduction... Like, they just show up at the office and tell me they are my coworker *No clear job responsibilities... And when the responsibilites that "are your's" are not done, you are yelled at either verbally or with a demoralizing email *Management is unprofessional and tactless I could continue, but I think you already get the point

I'm sure it's okay but not for me

Pros

They pay you more than minimum wage and the people seem nice.

Cons

I gave my manager my tutoring hours and she still hasn't contacted me with clients in 6 months. It's kind of ridiculous but then again I don't know what's up. I don't even know if I'm still employed but I just kind of assume I'm not.
