Pros

These are probably center specific... -Good pay -Good Performance Recognition -Friendly Atmosphere

Cons

-Immense Stress (again, center specific) -No opportunities for advancement. Everything based on age rather than skill. -Favoritism -Two extremes: people hired based solely on appearance, and people based solely on skill. This job requires you to be smart, have common sense AND be personable. One of those (except maybe common sense, which can at least get you out of a fix) just won't cut it.

Pros

Contributing to an educational environment, work didn't require any prior experience.

Cons

Management consistently took in more kids than the employees had capacity for, which lead to a lot of crunch for what should have been a straightforward task. The amount of work we were required to do did not scale with the $8 an hour I was receiving.
