Pros

Providing excellent care and learning opportunities for children was deeply rewarding. I enjoyed working with many passionate individuals at all levels from teachers and field leadership to corporate leaders. I loved my job and I felt I could make a difference.

Cons

Constant turn over of corporate and field management is constant distraction and made for an uneasy, nervous work experience. You never knew if you would be next to be laid off or let go.

Great program for families but not for employees.

Pros

They strive for high quality childcare and provide that to the families. We get to create meaningful relationships with families and coworkers.

Cons

There is a lot expected of us such as curriculum being completed by a certain day each week and prep work to be done but we are not provided with the support needed (such as time) to complete that work. Also, benefits are not good. And 5 days of sick/vacation are given a year. Not nearly enough when dealing with sick kiddos' germs on a daily basis!
