Used to be a great place to work - Center Director KinderCare Learning Centers Employee Review

Pros

The relationships built with children, families, and center staff.

Cons

Loooong hours (14+ per day). New upper management with no experience with children, who rule by fear and intimidation. They expect centers to hit financial goals through any means necessary, regardless of the impacts on children and staff. There are no more promotions in upper management, all outside new hires from retail. I used to respect the CEO and his chosen leaders, and I believed they just didn't know how bad it had gotten at the center level. Now I think they look the other way as long as the money is coming in. I just couldn't do it anymore.

Pros

You make 21/hr in NYC

Cons

The environment was similar to high school. Very cliquey. The parents also. A group of moms whose opinions would sway my director. There also wasn’t any custodial team hired so the center was rarely ever properly cleaned.
