Not worth the mental exhaustion and work life balance

Pros

It’s rewarding working with children, being apart of their lives and their development

Cons

The resources for help were non-existent. The work life balance was awful, you were made to feel guilty even when you were sick and needed to call out. Management at the Silverado location was toxic and passive aggressive. The base pay is not even a livable wage for what you’re put through on a day to day basis. You’re unpaid for vacations as a pre k teacher and if you’d like to work, it’s barely any hours.

Pros

My kids were so sweet and insanely smart!

Cons

No flexibility in teaching styles. Challenger is very rigid on how one should and shouldn't teach. Absolutely NO work/life balance. It took over my life completely in a negative way. I hope you love teaching and nothing but teaching, because it will take up at least 14 hours of your day. At least. Lack of training. I went to a one week training Challenger held before becoming a teacher, and it was too much too fast. I didn't even get to see how a proper elementary classroom was run before I was thrust into being a teacher. Low pay. Teachers are underpaid, and this job proves it. I gave everything I had and the pay never felt like it justified it.
