Pros

The pay at the specific franchised school I worked for was adequate, but probably because they have trouble keeping staff. Primrose focuses on diversity and inclusion, but on a conservative level; such as having babies of multiple skin colors in the classroom, and using books that mention many different kinds of families, such as LGBTQ+ parents.

Cons

Firstly, know that Primrose is franchised. I’m speaking on the specific franchised Primrose I worked for: the owners open schools so rapidly, before making sure their newest opened school is thriving and successful. They have a policy that if you quit within your first year, the shirts they require you to wear, the Primrose water bottle they require you to use, and your badge (all which you must return) will be deducted from your last check. As well, they make your last check minimum wage in at-will states. Primrose as a whole: the Primrose brand is almost cult-like. They use incredible branding to make themselves seem unique and outstanding, but it’s just a brand. It’s basically Montessori. Their training is severely lacking in actual skills to be a great teacher and help children develop. It mostly focuses on why Primrose is *so* special and brainwashing you into the primrose way.

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.
