Pros

If you like children, this job is definitely perfect for you. It's a good starter job that can get you the experience needed for other work environments that involve kids. The hours aren't difficult either. Management is satisfactory.

Cons

The job can get a bit stressful when you have to deal with the kids on a day to day basis for hours at a time. There will be a good amount of screaming or crying heard.
