Pros

Salary and Benefits are good relative to the field. Regular raises, good medical and dental benefit, 401K etc. Good support from the admin.

Cons

I've worked in smaller schools that have payed less and compared to those, Action Day's large atmosphere makes things a little to "corporate" compared to to the smaller school. For example, they over-enroll some of the classrooms so there are days when they shuffle kids to meet licensing requirements. The playgrounds are also not always located in proximity to the classrooms: we have to herd the children through playgrounds belonging to much older kids to get them to our classroom's playground. When I worked for a much smaller center, there were only 30 kids present in the entire school at once and all 3 classrooms were in earshot of each others and directly accessed the playground so there was much more a "homey" feel. There was also much more flexibility and openness even though the pay was less.

Pros

The coworkers I had were fun

Cons

Management would play favorites, and would oftentimes pay someone with less experience than you more money because they are desperate—without giving more seasoned teachers raises. Management would move teachers to different classes with no notice whatsoever. You can be put in a class and not even know the names of the students there. The ratio numbers are too high and unsafe. Changing areas for babies reek and lack air conditioning. Management can be condescending. The pay is unforgivably low considering workload and responsibilities. No training given.
