Pros

The kids, families, and curriculum were fantastic. I loved the learning experience i had while being there.

Cons

It was full of dramatic coworkers who would rather gossip than work. Management would say one thing to you but mean something completely different. In my interview i told them I could work with any age children except infants. I was told this was fine. I was made an assistant in a classroom and loved it. A former employee who had my position came back and wanted my position, so without question they took my job and gave it back to her and made me a floater. Which was not agreed on. Then when an assistant position in an older classroom opened up, they refused because my (full time available) schedule wasnt good enough. Yet wanted me to be full time in the infant room and try to hire an assistant for the room i wanted who had less availability. They went over capacity all the time, went cheap on snacks and food (using foods not on the food guide for primrose) and made exceptions for talking to parents about behavioral problems. It always came down to money for management, and the more they made, the less they tried. All teachers went a year there with no raise and after enough teachers were tired of it, they gave them a 0.25$ raise. What a joke. I loved working there for the kids and wish i didn't have to leave but I couldnt continue to be pushed into a position that I told them i wouldnt do. They were bullies of owners/Management and I would never go back.

Pros

I absolutely loved our families and their children.

Cons

From my first week of training, I could tell they didn't want me there. The assistant director is very dismissive and rude and the director is condescending. Never really had an issue with other staff members, but it was obvious the director and assistant director were trying to push me out. The curriculum director was so kind and sweet, but she left too, feeling like the director and assistant director were using her and walking all over her. I absolutely do not recommend.
