Pros

The people are the best part of this company. I can honestly say that they are some of the best coworkers I ever had the opportunity to work with. Everyone works really hard and appreciates each other's hard work. It's great if you need to get your foot in the door, but you will quickly realize that it is not a place to have a career.

Cons

The management is the worst. Their lack of direction and confidence and appreciation in their employees is evident, and will be the downfall of this company. So many good people and hard workers leave because their efforts are not appreciated by their bosses or by the executives. There is no transparency. You will go about your day, week, month thinking everything is fine, and then out of no where (usually every October) there will be layoffs or a "change in direction" which ultimately leads to more unhappiness for the employees. Employees are not asked what they think and advancement is unheard of. If you are hired for a position, chances are you will remain in that position until you quit - or unless you sleep with the management.

Pros

Great employers who really care about their franchise and their employees. Additionally, they will challenge you to do the best job you can. If you are going into teaching, this is a great place to work. The owner will 100% push you to be a better educator, and it is very impressive working for such an accomplished woman.

Cons

Demanding first PT job. When you are at work, you need to be "on" all the time. Sometimes the parents/customers can be really demanding and unappreciative.

Pros

It's not very difficult and you get to practice your communication skills (sort of), you work with a variety of kids

Cons

You get paid minimum wage, the work is very repetitive, low hours, they didn't give much training but then again you don't really need it
