Expect the minimum - Anonymous employee G8 Education Employee Review

G8 expects a lot but not giving a lot. Pay is average at best. Too much focus on what we look like on the outside (documenting, writing daily reports, photos, observations too much time on an ipad) rather than actually giving us time to connect and engage with children. Older centres are falling apart but nothing gets fixed cause money is rather spent on new flashy centres that bring more money in. We've had roofs collapse, water pour through, floods etc they put a bandaid on so to speak but dont actually fix anything permanently. We get a thank u gift card here and there and a limited amount to spend on an afternoon tea for staff as 'appreciation'. Meanwhile we have to use our own time to catch up on any development courses because during work hours we're notoriously understaffed and overworked.
