Decent job with downfalls

Pros

Some of the other teachers were very nice and looked out for you. At first the bosses seemed to care about you and how you were doing. The bosses did check in every two weeks to see how you were doing and made sure that you went to many training's.

Cons

The company itself did not care. The building wasn't in the best condition. The parents were rude at times and the children were abusive to the staff. At times management did not step in when needed. They worked you to the last minute they could and at times would keep you over. The windows could not open which is a fire hazard.

Pros

The work is rewarding when you think about who you are doing it for. The kids. There are some talented people working for the organization.

Cons

Overall there's a real lack of structure within the organization and a very high turn over that puts a greater strain on already strained resources. Poor Compensation, Poor leadership and management, overall unprofessional work environment, and disproportion workloads.

Pros

If anything, the laid back environment.

Cons

This was honestly the worst job I have ever had. The management is terrible and VERY unprofessional. They give no opportunity for growth no matter how hard you work. It's a lot of work for very little pay. All in all this job/company is a joke. Steer clear.
