Pros
Most Co-Workers are really nice people. The common goal of the front line staff is always the children and families we serve.
Cons
Early Learning division is an iron-fisted tyranny with a focus on what is good for the business instead of what is good for the kids and families we serve and best practices for educating young children. As a result, processes have been designed to benefit the back offices with disregard for what is best for kids and the front line classrooms where we have the most opportunity to affect outcomes for the people we serve. There is a culture of fear and an understanding that we must do what we are told without question, even when we know it is the wrong thing for the kids. If you try to suggest a better way, you will pay. Child outcomes are falling. Staff is leaving. Very sad and frustrating place to work in the last few years.
