Friendly Team, But Abysmal Project Management

Pros

-My team is full of kind and friendly people that I genuinely enjoy working with. -Hybrid work schedule (3 days in office)

Cons

-The project management here is basically nonexistent. We do have one or two people who oversee workflow and manage deliverables, but there are no functioning processes for review and successful collaboration. It's very chaotic and frustrating most of the time, and we're wasting a ton of time and resources just trying to figure out what's going on. It also results in a lot of miscommunication and tension between teams. -Primrose recently began enforcing a 3 day in office policy, but employees hired before summer 2023 had been promised that only 2 days in office were required. HR allowed no exceptions and was quite dismissive of employees' frustrations.

Pros

At least you get to earn money while you’re there!

Cons

Honestly, my primrose experience has been anything other than pleasant. From management not wanting to step into a classroom to assist or give a bathroom break to not feeling valued as an employee… we get no perks to working for Primrose, the enrollment is equivalent to a mortgage, but what they pay their employees is honestly sad compared to the amount of money each classroom pulls in, hardly enough to cover my bills. And if it wasn’t for having a roommate I wouldn’t be able to afford to live on my own. As if working as a preschool teacher isn’t hard enough already. You spend all day trying to please parents, and taking care of children, for management to continuously put extra stress and pressure on you. You’d think after all the effort you put in to working your hardest to help their company flourish they would reward their hardworking employees with vacation time. You don’t get a built in 2-4 weeks like most jobs, you have to work there at least a year and they only give you a week of paid vacation time. Sick time is unpaid and you don’t have any built in. In a field where it’s inevitable you will eventually catch some kind of bug or virus as you are working with young children. I could go on, and on. If you want to be treated like a valuable employee and be happy with the environment you’re working in find a different childcare center.
