Pros
I loved the children. they were the best part of the job. you do get some small bonuses like $25 gift cards for perfect attendance and bonuses from stars if you qualify. the schools themselves are pretty to look at.
Cons
stressful environment. not due to kids but due to staffing issues (short staffed or management problems). huge turnover like others have posted. They are always hiring. if you treat people nicely you wont have these problems. if people are treated fairly and compensated with fair wages, this wouldn't be an issue either. People with degrees are working for low wages. centers are short staffed and have to borrow from other centers. paying out of pocket often for activities in the classroom when your wages arent that great to begin with. Lots of new staff and often.
