La Petite Academy Employee Reviews about "coworker"

Cons

LOW PAY. Seriously. I make pennies an hour as a lead and it is not enough to live in Southern California. I can barely make rent in this area off my paycheck alone. They also provide bonus opportunities for teachers that get other teachers hired, but they dont consider to pay their existing teachers more so that we don't even consider leaving in the first place. Also, it is an extremely high stress environment and nearly all of the staff feel extremely anxious when one of the managers is around because she is very abrasive and does not communicate well. It is like a running joke amongst the rest of the staff like "uh oh, here she comes. Wonder which one of us is next. Off with your head!" Definitely not a place I want to work for long. It started out fine but yikes...

Cons

Many rules imposed by the higher-ups are not practical. Often rules are made (such as not being able to use a laminater or watch movies with your kids on Fridays) because other locations abused privileges or hurt themselves for lack of common sense, so the entire company is punished for one location's poor choices.
