Great kids and teachers, but management micromanages heavily

Business Outlook

Pros

The kids are great and the teachers are cool too.

Cons

Management has issues with micromanaging. You can be 3 min late to work and you could be fired. Ridiculous. They expect you to cater to them and put your life on the back burner. They also hire a lot of college students so I guess they expect everyone to be as flexible as college students who usually don’t have any real obligation outside of work. The hours also very inconsistent and not full time as I was hired for. Unorganized as well.
