Pros

In general people are friendly. With most managers work/life balance is ok.

Cons

The organizational structure is getting increasingly top-heavy. Executives get big bonuses while merit increases for school staff are pitiful. Those at the staff level are taking on more and more work. Positions are either not refilled after people leave or not increased to reflect additional support we're expect to provide to the field. There is no meaningful professional development. There is no clear path for advancement and tuition assistance won't even cover a single credit hour of graduate work. Men seem to be promoted at a much quicker rate than women, regardless of competence or work ethic. Several women were left with old, broken furniture for years and repeatedly given excuses for why it couldn't be replaced while men were given the latest and greatest. The new boys club often takes credit for the work of others while avoiding responsibility for any mistakes they make. Morale is taking a nosedive as long-term employees become increasingly unhappy. Upper management seems more interested in the latest buzzword idea than in using the knowledge of those at the front lines to create solutions that will work for our somewhat unique business. Health benefits are mediocre at best. There is no 401k matching. Despite their supposed commitment to families, the "flexible" schedules are so limited as to be nearly non-existent.

Pros

I love my job, We have a great company that really looks at what is best for children and teachers. Our education team is fantastic our children are excelling daily in their learning but still always have the opportunity to play and experience there classrooms. We have great benefits which is hard to find. I would recommended our school and any in the company. Our school is very unique we have incredibly long term staff. Many over 25 years my self I have been with our company for 41 years.

Cons

Work life balance is always an opportunity that could be better as in any company.

Pros

My immediate team and supervisors were great.

Cons

Management has no idea how recruiting works, and no clue how to administer or gauge recruiting metrics. Their weekly "goals" for recruiters don't even make sense given what is involved in hiring and starting a candidate. I was only there for a short time, but working there was a total waste. I'd rather Door Dash than work for this company again.
