Pros

The only good thing about this company is the people that work here.

Cons

There is no trust from upper level management. The COO will yell at people for conversing with one another, There are crazy strict rules about clocking in and out, even for salaried employees. For some reason we work 8-5 and get an hour break so we are on the clock for a full 8 hours, whereas every single other company in america, if you are a salaried employees work 8 hours and that includes their lunch break. This place constantly feels like you are being watched and judged, and that you could be fired at any moment for something stupid. I hate feeling this uneasy at my workplace. They also don't pay very well, so overall if you're thinking about working here, don't.

Pros

My time there was neutral. I enjoyed myself alot there and I met a lot of kind good teachers and staff. I also met some not so good ones. I think that’s at any job. I worked there from 2011-2016.

Cons

There were some unprofessional teachers and staff there. At times we didn’t have the adequate coverage for shifts and breaks. No sort of compensation for the parents coming to pick up their children late.
