People I worked with, and the children.

Worst Director, doesn't know how to keep it professional. A very high stressed environment, little to no communication. The Director expects a lot from a little. High turn-over rate.

Pros

Do hire a diverse population of teachers in terms of age, gender ethnicity and orientation. Children as always are there if you're doing this job you love kids

Cons

Most sites do not offer a set consistent schedule, using rotating shifts. The lack of staffing and support will force staff to also never be able to plan things such as break time. Rigid with sticking only to curriculum from Company book even on days when severely understaffed. Even if you are hired specifically for a particular classroom where you are most familiar and best skilled to work, they will often push you into things such as infant or toddler even if you have physical limitations such as back, bending or carpal tunnel. Very inflexible about your PTO if it doesn't fit in
