    Pros

    lowest that they can pay their staff that is what you will be paid no exceptions, no advancement, overworked and undervalued. Retaliation when concerns do not meet leadership's expectation of themselves.

    Pros

    Flexibility and making a difference in children’s lives.

    Cons

    Company will pay you the absolute minimum they can legally pay you. A new person will start off at the same pay as you, even if you’ve worked there 5 years. While you have flexible hours, expect resources families and supervisors to call you at all hours. High turnover. Don’t control even a little bit to your 401k. You Will be putting thousands and thousands of miles on your car and the mileage reimbursement just doesn’t cut it.
