A fast and fun place to work? We will take that! We will also take your feedback and use it for change. The pay rate is something we are working on - there is a balance that needs to be in place to compensate our teammates, pay overhead costs, and still maintain an affordable hourly rate for our families. The first solution we put into play this year was the employee bonus program and thus far, we are seeing some great momentum! We are also adding a tip line to invoices to increase and better track the disbursement of gratuities you so richly deserve as hardworking supervisors and teammates.

Pros

Having fun with the children.

Cons

Low pay high turnover rate The management is terrible. They do not do the employee reviews like it is stated in the teammate manual. Management plays favorites. They will have one worker doing 15 things "since they are good at it" instead of training the other workers in doing the tasks as well. Seriously signed paperwork stating I was to get a raise, a year and 3 months later still no raise. Don't make plans on your off day 99.9% of the time you're called in and expected to be there. Really you're expected to give them your life.

We are sorry that your experience at Kids Quest did not live up to your expectations, but rest assured, we are listening to you and using your feedback to improve as a company. We know that being a Kids Quest teammate is a big responsibility with both rewards and challenges. Rates of pay reflect what we can provide as compensation and still maintain an affordable hourly fee for care. In 2015, we implemented the employee bonus program to increase compensation. We have also put together a new training plan that makes learning fun and easier to access. Please understand that we are striving to gain consistency throughout the company. All of our concerns regarding management can be addressed by our new Director of Human Resources, me! Please feel free to contact me at any time to discuss your thoughts confidentially.

Pros

if you love kids or want to pursue anything with kids or you are a babysitter trying to find a legit job it is very useful in gaining experience.

Cons

they don't hire men for their in casino locations, they say they don't discriminate but even my supervisor would tell me when guys came in for interviews that we'd never see them. your hours aren't promised, you constantly work hours past your scheduled time off. and sometimes you have to wait to clock in, and breaks aren't promised either and trust me, this is the type of jjob you need a break with. you wont get a steady number of hours. they rarely hire full-time for this reason. but they will give you 40+ hours in the summer even though you are hired as part-time. it is based off number of kids who are in the center. you get called in on off days constantly and are expected to answer. sure you can say no, but how does that look with your supervisors and manager?
