Pros
Fulfilling job, working with, teaching, and nurturing children. Necessary resources available to succeed at job. Mostly positive atmosphere. Benefits package. Ample continuing ed opportunities. Nice breakroom and amenities. Fun staff appreciation events! You don't take work home.
Cons
Low wage. Benefits barely affordable, given low wage, with not enough PTO (no sick days). Ableist award (Don't Let Me Down Award, which awards those who never have to call off, which is often impossible for those with chronic illness). Company focuses on opening more centers and filling more spots over maintaining and improving what already exists. High turnover. No laundry allowance/we must replace our own uniforms. Not salaried (which I can see both sides to, but think it causes more problems with benefits, as nonsalaried employees). Very little room for career growth.
