    Pros

    The kids always give me something to look forward to when I go to work.

    Cons

    The upper management has failed many other employees due to the fact they do what is best for the company not necessarily what is best for the teachers and children.

    It’s a job

    Mar 20, 2023 - Preschool Teacher 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    You won’t get fired. Staffing issues are job security for those that are reliable and want to work.

    Cons

    No support whatsoever. Classrooms struggle daily with ratio, mixed age groups make it almost impossible to keep the classroom structured and engaged. Stuffing issues have all reliable staff working long hours but do not get to keep OT as a reward. Often times we are forced to take long lunches to cut all overtime. Any concerns brought to management only lead to broken promises to get us to be quiet. Basically threaten to quit on a daily basis because the working environment is so bad. Kids are awful. Every room is full of behavior problem and the only thing teachers can do is enter it in my path. Not even sure who looks at the documentation.

    Working here caused me to leave teaching for good

    Jan 2, 2023 - Twos Teacher in Alhambra, CA
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    I became friends w my co teachers.

    Cons

    The classrooms, bathrooms and break room are filthy, and teachers are expected to do a majority of cleaning that a cleaning team should be doing. Dangerously understaffed and teachers are left over ratio frequently. No human could actually keep the kids safe and teach them under the circumstances. Teachers are expected to pay for almost all materials in the classroom. The leadership are unwilling to provide w basic needs for the classroom (or you receive it a year later) and unwilling to compensate teachers. Low pay and teachers taken advantage of. Rude management who don’t care about staff or children. Just treated as a company to make money. High turnover since it’s such an awful place to work, so no consistency for the children. Cameras cause a lot of miscommunication between teachers, management, and families.

    Pros

    Only pro is corporate benefits

    Cons

    Staff is ignored when they bring up concerns or issues Students who are extremely aggressive to staff and other classmates are allowed to stay with zero discipline Management is non-suportive If you ask for a raise or to advance you are given the ring around until you stop persisting Monthly staff meetings that are held run extremely late and become unprofessional venues for management to shift blame and gaslight employees
