Sweet kids but management does not deliver on promises

Teacher

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The kids are super sweet and fun

Cons

Management lies about what they are prepared to offer you. They hire you on, offering a promotion as soon as you meet certain metrics, then once you've met them, they refuse to promote. I was hired to be a director, was told to just complete my state mandated hours on site as a teacher, then I would be promoted. I finished my house rain two months and six months later had not received any promotion. They will cut employees hours to train new employees.

Good financial help but stressful work environment

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great financial help and paid training Friendly admin staff

Cons

Pay is not the best. Hours get cut without a notice, because it always depends on how many children enroll. Working environment are unhealthy and stressful because some teachers feel superiority over other even though there’s no ranking. Most parents don’t look for a relationship with teachers just a place where they can drop their child/dren off. Some classrooms don’t get the support they need due to the high level of children with special needs.
