Pros
The children were lovely for the most part.
Cons
Trainings is required but you have to pay it yourself. which makes no sense because if you look up the website its .com and two largest staffing dedicated to the child care field in which you think you're safe. But hey at least you get to keep the trainings after done. Salary: Its not liveable and no benefits at all even with experience. Uniforms- CCC will say these centers want you whatever is require don't let this fool you just wear casual but not too casual. Benefits non existant. CCC only gives you a file folder hold your trainings and documentts along with a red tote bag saying CCC. Oh that reminds make sure you use a backpack instead of the red tote bag because its much easier and you should also use the backpack to bring protection and the reason well you read why later on this post. Recuriters most likely ghost you trying not to answer the phone once hired. Point system - each assignment is only point if you compete in your schedule and travel and two points if its outside your travel radiius or not in your schedule. Also when you get one hundred points nothing happens according to a former CCC employee that I spoke with that currently works for a center that is in contract with CCC. Rude placement coordinators: Yes this is true as well except for only like one or two. Also it seems only like person answering the phone if you plan to call them along you will not be talking the same person later the day. Also about the coordinators these guys don't know anything about the city you live in and outside you traveling to because even though you working for 1 of these locations . They will be calling in a citiy from one these states below. Arizona California Florida Georgia illinois New Jersey Ohio Pennsylvania Texas Washington Getting Assignments- Its usually get sent to you by text message and sometimes its first come first serve base on the location according to some CCC members I met. once in a blue will be called if the assignment close by, sometimes will be giving to you at the end of the day after current assignment, or sometimes in desperate you're the only availble that matches according to placement coordinators. Also for assignments if you look at it and not response within 3 hours you will get subtract points for it even though you think another subsitute will take it. And last minute cancelled assignments by you will be -5 points as well. Hours are not gurantee: Yes this true sometimes you will not get assignment that is not your schedule. Gas milage pay is real but you will have to travel more then 10 miles in the city and outside the city to earn it. And its not even that high. Lunch time is not pay rather its 30 minutes or 1 hour. I also want to say sometimes in your schedule it will say No lunch break not even for a few minutes. Last minute canclled assignments due happen and this did happen me 2 times along with other CCC members I met who also complained this issue. When this happens 99% you won't get paid for this and CCC "we will try to find you another assignment the same day" or it will just be a day off for you. The centers are in 99% bad neighborhoods of the city and outside the city. This can be prove by using the address of the center CCC provides you and you better look up the area crime report of these centers. Tricky and annoying find parking at most on these centers even though you will have to arrive 15 minutes early before starting shift time. And if you taking public transportation good luck some require changing at times. Staff members at these centers staff is like dramatic as well because lets just say if you do something off they will complain to CCC instead of communicating to you about the problem to fix it. And when CCC calls aka placement in this situation you will get 1. Warning, 2. You will be block by the school as in can't go back even you try to explain yourside of the story, and lastly the worst Fired. And yes I experience what I just said minus the Fired part. These centers are on Life Support or else will be shutdown : 99% of these centers have a very high level of x amount of problems. Don't believe me? The way to find these information is in like a public report card information for all centers is by searching you guys local state child center provider information website with details of everything on these centers as well centers that have no contract with CCC. Another reason for life support because a couple more reason including most of these centers are not well funded , poor top leadership, and somewhat short on staff in like one to two centers. Most staff staff at these centers should be investigated and the reason I say this because the way they displine the children because long story short I see some disturbing things. Most of these staff members don't care about teaching the children anything else after the basic as in morning song, and calender. Also most of these staff at these centers don't really teach how you do this field. In conculsion horrible agency and you are just helping 99% of these life line centers preventing them being shutting down.
