Pros

PTO, benefits, holidays off, summer hours. Which is great, since you'll be counting down the days until every time you have off.

Cons

Everything. This was THE worst job/experience I have ever had. Horrible boss, horrible management, horrible structure, horrible systems, horrible attitudes...the list goes on. Working at The Children's place was a step up from being a prisoner at a federal penitentiary. Nobody at the "top" cares at all about the people at the "bottom"...even though they're the one's who are doing all the hard work! All that matters is what Jane wants, and it doesn't matter how that happens as long as it does. The company runs on fear. You have to jump through hoops to get anything done. All while every day you're wondering if you're job is secure, or if you'll be let go without warning. I could go on but it physically pains me to look back on my time there. You've been warned.

Pros

30% off discount – Nothing else

Cons

This company exhibits a daily fluctuation in its attitudes and approaches, affecting both employee interactions and customer service. Managers are not protected from customer complaints, and customer service consistently prioritizes customer satisfaction over factual investigations. District managers can be either supportive and understanding or dismissive and unprofessional. Some district managers may even encourage employees to resign due to their negative attitude. I have personally experienced multiple instances where district managers reacted negatively to a simple “no.” This behavior, coupled with the managers’ excessive workload and lack of recognition, has led to employee frustration and breakdowns. While the district manager for Georgia expresses a desire to change the company culture, the current culture remains unchanged, characterized by superficial gestures of “fake smiles” and “fake support.” The company’s practices are exploitative, and employees are constantly reminded of their replaceability and lack of value. This toxic work environment has created a hostile and unpleasant atmosphere.
