Pros

Everyone is very friendly and you'll get to be very comfortable after a while. The other employees are usually willing to help you out if need be.

Cons

You can't expect much work unless you try coaching,subbing,teaching multiple classes all of which can be really inconsistent in terms of scheduling and hours. Tons of nepotism. Everyone is friendly enough but you'll come to learn that other people are usually working much more comfortably than you are.

Pros

The company spans most of southern California, so it makes a huge impact. The programs are well thought out, and the children are the main priority. Unique and passionate instructors and lessons, and its clear that everyone here is good at, and cares about their job.

Cons

Employees are under-compensated, and under-stimulated, and often stressed out. Upper-management seems paranoid.
