Pros

Some really great people worked here at at various points in time. The Friday after thanksgiving is a paid holiday.

Cons

Overall outlook for this company is very poor. Executives micro-manage their VP's and below. Benefits and pay are below average. Some departments work 6-7 days a week. The company dictates when you will use 1 week of vacation per year. The company contributes less and less to healthcare benefits every year. Driving up employee costs. For a family it is currently less expensive to use Healthcare.gov than to use KU healthcare plan. Annual pay increases are below state average.

Pros

Teaching children, the curriculum, dental benefits are affordable but not health care, your child can attend

Cons

Always short staffed. Management are very unprofessional and lazy. Ratios push teachers to be under stress. How can 1 teacher take care of 12-15 children. You will only get up to $14 an hour and no more raises after that. Raises are cents per year. They only care about money and over enroll with short staff. They tolerate teachers not changing diapers or leaving children outside by themselves outside. They hire teachers that are not capable for being responsible for children. The food they serve the children is like prison food. This is an absolute horrible industry to work for.

Pros

-curriculum is excellent, good DEI focus -teachers and Center Directors/Site Directors are amazing at engagement and quality care to kids. -has a large corporate office with lots of supports which enables you to get to know lots of people and help stay focused on your things. Which is great because upper management will not help you.

Cons

-upper leadership doesn’t understand or care about center/site quality or operations and only focuses on finance. -poor work/life balance. Often contacted late in the afternoon/evening for a large project needing to be done immediately and without notice. -they complain if you take any time off for vacation even if you have tons of it available. -company doesn’t reward or often acknowledge top company financial earners beyond typical bonus structure. -huge increases to family cost annually and minimal raises for top performers -growth opportunities are rare and usually prepicked prior to their posting. Don’t expect an interview if you’re a current employee with great results and people connections. -company childcare discount is way too high combined with average staff wages -upper leadership unaware of licensing, subsidy or other stakeholder information and are disconnected -frequent redistricting of Regions and recent upper level changes have changed the culture and focus of the company.
