Pros

The company is really changing. There are new management structures being put in place to offer better support to everyone, at every level. There is a vision the company is striving for and there is support to help get there.

Cons

The pay, while higher than many other early education facility's, it is still fairly low from a teacher perspective. Management pay seems to be comparable to other places.
