Good financial help but stressful work environment

Teacher

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.

Rewarding work, management mediocre at best

Regulatory compliance administrator

Business Outlook

Pros

Affecting the ability to provide more free meals to more children, learned skills that are extremely transferable to so many other types of positions. Work-life during non- travel weeks was great. Unlimited pto, but sometimes got pushback from leadership about scheduling

Cons

Most learning is on your own. Management doesn't investigate errors or give time to correct them; management style is very hands-off and doesn't seem to adapt to different learning styles. They seem unwilling to answer questions in advice rather than more questions. Health insurance is a nightmare, accepted by very few places in my area. Diversity was lacking- entire team was women, and only one of color- who they fired in less than a year. Travel was 12-15 weeks per year, which could sometimes cause missing out on personal life.
