Champions Reviews

Pros

Working with kids, guided curriculum, fun summer program, flexible hours

Cons

Some kids can be a little difficult

Pros

The kids are amazing! The school principal and staff are great! The split shift allows time to handle priorities.

Cons

Management is terrible. Managers will harass you and demand you step down from your position if you stand up for yourself. Managers are on a power trip. Billing is ALWAYS a nightmare. They are a little corrupt and try to charge for days you arent even in attendance. They dont adjust if you dont show, but they add if you do drop in even if the rate would be the same for 4 days. Managers lie and make up things about you if they dont like you just to fire you. Managers cross boundaries and involve your children in your employment. They create a negative work place then try to get you fired from your next position thats not with them by calling your new boss and lying about you. (Bree Hogue in iowa did this) area managers will undermine you and talk about you in front of you as if you are not there. Then try to treat you as if you did something to them. It sucks this is the only program in our area and its horrible they have to represent the school district with such bad management.

Pros

Good area manager, listen to your concerns

Cons

Big turnover with staff because of hours

Pros

Children are amazing and the families and very thankful. School clients are very supportive. If you’re looking for a career in education, a good stepping stone for how to normalize being overworked, under supported, and underpaid. Good inclusion practices for the children’s curriculum.

Cons

Lack of compensation. A lot of silent promotions— giving extra responsibilities as a form of reward for having high talent, but no money for that talent. Under staffed because teachers leave, no substitute pools because they are too cheap to hire subs. Lack of diversity in upper management. No room to move beyond the field unless you’re a boot licker, talent is NOT enough.

Pros

You hired staff and we're in charge of your site, scheduling, training staff.

Cons

Low pay and benefits. Stressful work environment.

Pros

Don’t micro-manage Give time off w/o pay freely

Cons

Horrible compensation Hire unqualified & unreliable people and rarely terminate. Not nearly enough supplies for child activities of interest. Lack of training for inexperienced hires.

Pros

Kids are fun, Free snacks, Decent work-life balance, a typical shift is 4 hours per day, Weekends/Holidays off

Cons

Overworked, Understaffed, Unappreciated, Unstable, Stressful.

Pros

The kids are great. Parents are wonderful. The managers not site supervisors are good

Cons

Some of the site supervisors are thieves. They do not respect their employees. They talk very badly about their boss They are lazy. They have favorites in color of skin and families who have money There is nothing good in them to follow. I saw my supervisor stole money from the envelopes of his employers and close them back stating that they will never know. I alert the manager she never returned my email not even to say thank you. Not a good place to invest in unless they get competent managers.

Pros

Work with kids Great support system Family oriented

Cons

Pay is not great. But higher than most childcare providers

Pros

It's all good in the beginning, but poor training program.

Cons

If you are not your supervisor's favorite - you won't be able to grow or go anywhere. The goal is to get as much out of you as they can without promotion or pay. The best people in the role tend to move on -
