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.

I really enjoy my children. They were inquisitive and bright. Co-workers are hard working dedicated to the jobs.

Bosses want utopian work. Wants you to do what they say and turn down suggestions to make classroom effective.
