Pros

It was always a pleasure working with the staff, children and families.

Cons

This company doesn't care about its people, neither their employees nor their families or children. The only concern is money and numbers. This is not a place where children will get the most out of their early years because education, consistentcy and safety is not a concern at this "learning center". The upper management district managers-ceo do not support their center employees and blame all the shortcomings of the center on the center director. They run directors down and overwork the then. Assistant Directors spent the entire day in the classrooms teaching or breaking othe staff. The children and staff are consistently sick because they do not have a cleaning crew in any center nationwide. The expect the center employees to clean the entire center yet there are never labor hours to even get it done. They shuffle the children from room to room to save money and labor and cut employees hours. They don't give manager enough hits to staff centers appropriately and maintain state licensing ratios. When you do adhere to the laws and regulations set forth by the state they harass you and create a hostile and stressful work environment. The only way to make the financial numbers is to break the law... So if you're not willing to compromise your career then you won't keep you center in good standing. The company does not maintain their buildings and never replace anything causing dangerous situations for centers and leave then unable to run. They do not stay up to date with technology or education and never replace materials or toys. It is a very unhappy place to work as a whole and it's very sad.

Pros

“Flexible” , vehicle provided (able to take home), paid drive time, gas paid for (fleet card), 401k match (up to 10%, fully vested after 5 years), discounted childcare

Cons

The least professional company that I have ever worked for. Very disorganized. Corporate politics. A ton of turnover all over the company; constant changing of plans and goals; inconsistent communication. Toxic work environment. The “policies” are created as they see fit, when they do. Got assaulted by a client; nothing was done. A peer improperly trained me regarding important safety measures (lock out-tag out), was quick to tell me to do things for the company that were unsafe, and legally questionable - and even told me to lie on what they said was a legally binding document. Lean staffing HEAVILY implemented putting a lot of stress on everybody there.
