Business Outlook

Pros

wonderful children, room for small growth

Cons

they schedule you for a ten hour day and say they will give you an hour and a half break... which is long... but its whatever... however this never happens and suddenly at the end of the week you have a three hour break... very frusterating... however the biggest downfall is management... they are all trained and have all been a teacher in the past.. however they are the most disrespectful people i have ever met... they always complain and never give positive feedback... they will come and complain bout things that are not your fault... they are constantly moving children around so you never really know what are going into at the begining of the day... they always make you stay late and you will never hear a thank you... i would never recommend this job... and they always wnder why people quit all the time
