Pros

Wonderful co-workers who care and love children. Meeting with kiddos and their families. Curriculum is created for you--no need to do extra preparation

Cons

Franchised centers are horrible. New ownership has turned our center upside down. No longer is the emphasis on the children, it's all about the bottom line. Teachers get paid embarrassingly low wages, and get very few hours per week.

Pros

I enjoyed the work I did do. Working with the children and helping with teachers was fun and I got to socialize quite often with staff and students.

Cons

I was fired for missing one shift because my mother ended up in an accident. I did not get to explain myself for missing said shift and was told to think about my actions for 4 days before being let go. Extremely unprofessional.
