Pros

generally no weekends or after hours work employees at HQ are pretty nice

Cons

zero flexibility with work hours- you show up two minutes late and the owner is messaging your boss to write you up or threaten your job cheap- raises are nonexistent and despite great performance reviews, even getting cost of living increases is challenging upward mobility limited- they are growing but it's not the upper level positions they are adding upper level management is pretty out of touch with what people like in a job in terms of work life balance- which is interesting considering it's family owned and the services the franchisees offer are to families with small children. vacation time is limited- especially if you have not been with the organization very long

Pros

Parents were nice, children were sweet and smart.

Cons

The owners of kiddie academy of west Cary had a divide and concur mentality among their staff. Overrall most of the women working there were the most cattiness and cut throat people I’ve ever come across over a low paid, menial job. All we were doing was changing diapers, singing abcs and serving cookies and apples juice and the teachers would throw their coworkers under the bus for no good reason. The owners and directors expected staff to give their children special treatment. Very toxic environment.
