Pros

The children are the best and most wonderful part of the job . The company has great ideas and thoughts, but too many at one time

Cons

Too much noise communication- emails need to be streamlined. Labor cuts = directors in classrooms holding ratio. Can't use hours. high teacher turnover from this. Be prepared to work 60 hours per week

Champions- Area Manager

Area manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible schedule, child care discount, mileage reimbursement, multi site management experience, and opportunities to network within the company.

Cons

The position of Area Manager has a work load unmanageable by one person for any market, overseeing 20 sites in a 100+ mile range. The geographical area is too large and the number of sites is too great for one person to manage. Staffing for direct reports is almost impossible with part time schedules and split shifts. Policies and procedures are inconsistently applied across the board. Account management systems make the job next to impossible and create serious safety concerns within the child care sites.
