Pros

The children are the only enjoyable part of this position.

Cons

Would never send my children to this establishment. The directors care more about the teacher to children ratio than they do overall care of the children in the building. Became so desperate that they started hiring everyone on the spot, regardless of their qualifications. Continuously short-staffed which constantly affected employees on a daily basis. Directors were rarely in the building yet demanded all of their employees to come to work sick and would give rude responses once asked to take time off.

Pros

New building, great break room, friendly management, to the point scheduling and responsibilities

Cons

Management varies location to location, owners also vary and can make a few of their own rules (being that it's a franchise), you're hired for a specific classroom for a specific block of time, so you better like/get along with/hope you can work well with whoever is in your room. There are some black sheeps.

Pros

Funny to read some of these reviews.. Because I have never worked for somewhere that cared as much as my administrative team does. I recently have had very personal difficulties and this company stepped up more than I could imagine to be there for my family and I. With that being said.. Everyone I work with has become family, the kids are the reason I get up every morning and come to work. There is so much growth in the company if you commit and show your dedicated. I see a little lightbulb go off in all my students mind everyday because of the curriculum lightbridge implements . I've honestly never been happier working anywhere else.

Cons

Pay? I mean I guess so, that's an area everyone wants more in.. Right?!. Day to day complications have always had room for growth and resolution. There was never an issue I have had that I didn't feel like I can speak on with anyone in the school. The door is always open.
