Working for Primrose was a fun experience.

Pros

Having experienced working with small children Primrose was fun. Working as the Explorer's Teacher over the summer at the camp was fun for a time. You can tell that the school does care about the kids having a good time during their summers. I always felt that the school was really mindful about their state paper work and the safety of the students.

Cons

I found working for Primrose frustrating. I didn't understand the dynamics of the school or, rather daycare. I had been working in a school setting for so long that communicating with the director or owner seemed like talking to a wall. Primrose system is a for profit day care center, which isn't a negative to say, just an understanding that I had not experienced before.

Pros

Management is so helpful and its such a great learning experience!

Cons

So many people are just in it for the money and they do not enjoy it at all, YOU MUST LOVE KIDS and prefer teaching to like this job. It is NOT for everyone.

Pros

I liked Primrose only because I am in school be a teacher. It is a great starting place. The ratio is low for the most part, and the director can work with you on your school schedule.

Cons

I do not like all of the paperwork we are required to send home every week. I feel as if there are not enough teachers available through out the school.
