A horrible work environment.

Pros

The kids giving you hugs when you first walk in because they're happy to see you. And the food was pretty good

Cons

Disorganized leadership that never communicates with each other. Employees are not respected at all- one reason why the employee turnover rate is so high. They also randomly fire people and will make your final paycheck minimum wage if you give less than 4 weeks notice for leaving. They refuse to tell parents that we're full and cannot accept more children, so we end up getting more new children every week and having way more kids than we can handle. Because of this, the classrooms are usually out of ratio, so we end up scrambling to find someone to sit in the room so that we would not be out of ratio. The high turnover rate leads to even more chaos and disorganization. It's impossible to do the activities we're supposed to do with the kids when we're so understaffed, but the place will constantly be understaffed because pretty much everyone hates working here. I would never recommend anyone to work here, or even to send their kids here.

Do not work here

Pros

I was surprised at the salary they initially offered me. If things seem too good to be true, they are.

Cons

I don't feel comfortable going into detail but have to say, if you are thinking about whether or not to work here, save yourself the trouble and don't. I thought Reynoldsburg was a nice area but this place is not at all nice or respectable. The employees are treated terribly and the bad thing is that we allow it to happen because it's all in the paperwork we signed. You need to read and be informed. Consulting a lawyer before signing anything would be best if you think you want to work here.

Pros

there's nothing good about the company.

Cons

everything! when the boss gave overtime, he took the extra pay for himself. he let a parent swipe her title 20 card when her kids weren't there in order to keep her benefits. the kids weren't taught. the company didn't care about ratios. there were hazards in the building and playground. new employees were put in rooms before they had their background results back. licensing rules were broken left and right. they only care about the appearance of the company and building. the owner works like a car salesman, which is how he gets kids in.
