Pros

Some of the best reasons for working at Brightside were the staff, families and children.

Cons

Long days and nights. Parents did not always pick up children on time some times 30-1 hour past closing.

Pros

The kids are the reason I kept coming to work.

Cons

-Upper management is constantly changing their mind on policies. -Academy Directors and staff are not paid well compared to market. - The company had such high turnover that no positive changes were ever made. -Often had to work 12 hour days in order to fill in for teachers that would not show up for shifts.

Pros

When I came to Brightside Academy I was impressed because you could signup with the T.E.A.C.H scholarship program and start classes right away. I was also impressed that they supplied EVERYTHING for the babies/children: formula, cereal, baby food, 3 - meals, diapers and wipes. I appreciated the staff because they were friendly, welcoming, and they helped me to get acclimated to the company. Furthermore, they had free programs for the children...this is paramount for our communities to have. This helps families to grow, and when families grow communities thrive. I earned a decent salary...that was paramount for me. When covid-19 hit we didn't have to worry about when unemployment would kick in. They kept us employed, that was huge for me. Thanks again to the CEO for making the decision to stay open for the families who needed us.

Cons

The decrease in pay during the summer month was a big deterrent. That practice has changed since I stated and I am glad.
