Business Outlook

Pros

Most staff are kind and helpful

Cons

Poor communication with HR. Manager is overly controlling and hypocritical, treats staff more like children than professionals. Had four people leave in one month all due to his behaviour. Extremely understaffed and always busy. Instead of helping staff, manager likes to laugh with parents and stand around during class hours. Assigned additional responsibilities not included in the description without training or compensation, makes the job more stressful and demaning. Manager doesnt talk to children but rather screams at them, clear favouritism which the kids have picked up on. Overall, abuse of power is very present.
