Pros

- The pay is decent compared to other childcare jobs - They’re not too oppressive and corporate and supervisors are generally pretty helpful and friendly aside from a few of them. My boss was wonderful. - There’s lots of help and you have a lot of freedom to design activities for the kids - Lot of opportunities for growth quickly

Cons

- There’s a lack of appreciation sometimes for the work you do on behalf of corporate - The program is pretty underfunded so a lot of activities came from our own pockets - Limited hours (it’s pretty much only 2-6PM during school days except during summer unless you sign up for morning hours, which is typically just an extra hour one or two days a week)

Pros

Good experience with kids, especially if it's the kind of career field you plan on pursuing.

Cons

Turnover rate is so high. This is my second school year working at the same school. Started off with about 10 other counselors the first year. Since then, everyone quit (including the site director) except for one or two others. Pay rate is rather low. $8.50 an hour on school days only. If we are the ones that have to go through dealing with the kids everyday, then we deserve a little more pay at least, since we get nothing else from the company. It's one of the major reasons why everyone always wants to quit after a few months. Also realized how much fun it ISN'T when you have to go to work everyday to basically yell the whole time you're there. Can be a stressful job at times. And finally, the overall workplace environment. I see many things when i come in to work everyday that I know go against policy. It's as if none of the workers want to be there at all, and that can sometimes rub onto me. I always wonder why i still work for this company
