Pros

The company culture is great--very positive and you know that your managers have your back, especially if you had a rough student. Pay is pretty good, but they don't exactly give a great raise every year. You get paid holidays as a regular (non seasonal) employee. They train you well and they give you fairly consistent feedback. I really honestly enjoyed working there. The only reason I left was so that I could pursue employment in what I had gotten my degree in.

Cons

They are very busy during the summer, so if it is important to you to be able to take lots of vacations then...you're going to be disappointed. As someone else said, the students are often very challenging either in behavior or just their special needs. I was there for 4 years and never got promoted even though I was an exceptional employee. I'm sure that part of it was to do with the fact that I flat out told them I wasn't sure what my future with the company was though since my degree was in an unrelated field. Also, just as an FYI, their company policy is to not give recommendation letters. So if you plan to work for them seasonally it's ok, but I would not recommend working here long term expecting to get a recommendation letter from your center director etc. They just refer to HR. Kind of a bummer, but I imagine it's because they don't want their employees leaving.

Pros

Interesting & fun coworkers, generally good programs for working with the kids. The kids were great too. ...and that's about it.

Cons

Focus solely on making money. Really, that's their only purpose. Every single person walking in the door got a recommendation for instruction whether it would help them or not. Center Director during my time there was even worse than a micro-manager, I would call her a nano-manager. At one point I was asked to write out what I spent every minute of my day on. Had to report this at 3 hour long meetings a day. Work asked of me was not reasonable within time constraints. When I upheld policies as asked (that I disagreed with) that made the customers upset, it would result in me being reprimanded for angering the customer. When given a promotion to an exempt position, I called a meeting to discuss how 70+ hours of work a week was not reasonable, and was told that it was what was expected and if I couldn't handle it they would find someone else. When told my phone skills were not up to par, suffered through phone trainings where all supervisors would call me at once and act like high maintenance & unhappy customers - I still have fears of the phone to this day. In all future jobs I have been very successful - so I don't think I was the problem at all. I mean, they went through 12 office managers in 7 years? Then called me into a meeting to give feedback on why that might be, which turned into them explaining the personal failures of each person in the position.
