Pros
Some of the people were fun to work with, but then they left. I do believe the Montessori Method is the best way to educate a child.
Cons
Where do I start? Over the course of my time working there I saw every issue you could think of, from not having air conditioning in 95 degree weather, to never having support for special needs children, and not keeping the facilities maintained. Basically working for this company is like working for a vampire. They expect you to go over the top with everything while they pay you next to nothing. They are paying lead teachers LESS than $25/hr to live in Southern California. Thats less than $4000/month in an area where the average rent is around $2500/month for a one bedroom apartment. They don't give annual raises and the ones they do give amount to less than 5% at best, so with inflation you're actually taking a pay cut. This is one reason why all the good people are leaving. Just this month I heard that the entire elementary teaching staff in the local area, assistants included quit. If people are quitting in droves this clearly isnt a place you want to work. The saddest part is that we come into this kind of work because we want to help, to make a difference, and this place has made multiple people change their minds
