Pros

Each of them are individually owned. I'm sure other owners are legit, but not the one I worked at. The only advantages were getting to work with kids (which is something I really do love).

Cons

- Low pay. I worked in downtown Seattle. In child care. For minimum wage. And tutored. - Illegal handling of breaks. I was asked to work through my breaks, then make it look like I got a break in the system so he wouldn't get in trouble. Unacceptable. - I was left alone with kids all day. With no way to prepare food (no microwave, etc). And no permission to take the kids anywhere so I could get food. - No feminine napkin disposals for me or the adolescent females I watched. - Cut hours when I said I wouldn't help him make it look like I had breaks. Retaliation. - He gets HS kids to work for him that don't know their rights. - he's disrespectful, unprofessional, acts inappropriately, does illegal stuff. He's extremely cunning and manipulative. - I was exposed to Covid at work and he didn't tell me. VERY BIG DEAL. - The only thing HR and/or corporate tells you if you call about these types of problems is to talk to the owner of the franchise. They aren't much help. CORPORATE PLEASE READ THIS!!!!! CORPORATE PLEASE READ THIS!!!!!

Pros

Flexible hours that I could choose, nice working space. My boss was nice and very reasonable. Pay was decent after I completed some certifications. When the teaching was effective it was pretty rewarding and it can be fun to talk to the kids.

Cons

It was honestly a very tiring job. The kids can get really rowdy and difficult to manage, especially if you have to teach three at the same time. Management required us to use tablets and a finicky platform for worksheets that was not helpful and forced me to further split my attention.
