Pros

Working with most of the kids isn't to bad. These families are really entitled and rich so they think rules and laws don't apply to them.

Cons

Unorganized management. You get paid crap for a lot. Staff was young and uneducated. Management valued money over their staff. None of the rules they set in place for the staff applied to them and they would choose who got free passes on the rules. There was no training what's so ever and employees get told to look the other way on serious matters dealing with children.
