      Overall, colleagues in various depts are wonderful and helpful.

      HR is not your friend. HR staff is not top notch and issues tend to get escalated to get any resolution, if any.

      Pros

      There are some really sweet moments with the kids, lots of opportunities for growth within the company

      Cons

      I had to go to therapy after this job, it’s extremely dangerous, you will be physically abused on a regular basis and sometimes sexually abused and put into uncomfortable and inappropriate scenarios with the children. You will be gaslit and told that your injuries are your fault for not blocking or being in the right position. The healthcare and workers comp is terrible and they are stingy with PTO. The employee turnover rate is horrible, I’ve seen people start and quit on the same day. Plus, while you are technically allowed to take 2 fifteen minute breaks during the day, you will be lucky if you get one of your breaks and an opportunity to go to the bathroom. You will be doing the job of at least three people.
