Pros

Great co-workers and great experience.

Cons

Overall, I enjoy working with this company. However, I see myself leaving soon because I barely make enough to live on the salary provided. Also, no benefits, like health insurance, are provided. A HR representative is needed. You become your own fighting advocate.

Ok people, no real training

Pros

If you have a great owner/director, it can be an awesome entry level job. You have slow days and crazy busy days which typically even out.

Cons

There is no real training...just a couple days and then you're thrown in. A focus on sales is not discussed much during hiring OR training, yet it is 100% of what a manager's job is. Very small marketing budget and you are expected to work miracles with next to nothing. Little real support and not much room to grow within the company.

We appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience with CNT. The College Nannies and Tutors Development team provides bi-monthly manager training in our corporate office, which discusses many different topics, including marketing and recruiting tactics that trainee's take back to their local offices to implement. The three-day training class is comprehensive, and follows 4-6 weeks of pre-training calls and assignments with our Training Manager. We strive to ensure our franchisees and managers have what they need to ensure success through our brand. We also encourage franchisees and local management to utilize the tools and resources available, and reach out to the CNTD support team whenever there are questions or concerns. We apologize if the training, tools or resources were made unavailable to you during your employment with us.

Good concept, horribly executed

Pros

At first, one would feel as if they are doing something good, by helping families secure childcare and tutoring--but this is not the case. They give you a cell phone, but only because you are required to respond to families 24/7.

Cons

It is hard to work for and believe in a company that basically rips off their clients. They claim to "build stronger families" but they really just "build stronger rich families". The only people who don't think it's a ripoff are the owners, rich parents who don't care, and clients who don't know. The company is only concerned about making huge profits by charging families double and triple what they are paying their nannies and tutors. Managers are so overworked, underpaid, and stressed out from having to meet sales goals. If a family suggests that the cost is a little too high, managers are told to either push them and make them feel bad until they give in, or be rude to them and move on. Owners only support managers who make them the most money, regardless of how hard you work. I've seen managers show prejudice towards families they automatically assume cannot afford the services. Their hiring practices for nannies and tutors also boarder on unethical. They are a staffing company, yet there is zero HR training or education. In addition, they offer bare minimum benefits (if any, and only to FT employees), little to no home/work life balance, and little to no advancement opportunities. After many years with this company, I realized I could no longer be apart of it. If you have any morals at all, you will stay far away from this company.
