Pros

Kids are awesome! Coworkers are outstanding and such hard workers!

Cons

Owners lie in yearly contract, which in turn means they're stealing money from you. When caught in their lie about getting paid holidays, they said, "Okay you caught us, but if I pay you holidays, I have to pay everyone holidays!" Per our contract, they should. As a single person living on my own, I need THREE jobs to be able to afford to live here, and they do not care. I'm shaping the minds of the future in my hands, yet someone that works at a fast food place makes more than me. MORE.

Pros

Some of the teachers you work with are the greatest people. They are 100% there for the kids and will do anything to see them grow and enjoy learning. The kids are amazing, the parents are OK-sometimes a little too demanding, but you get some great ones that make it worthwhile.

Cons

Toxic upper management. Directors have to bend over backward to make sure they are even heard when it comes to issues while already being stretched beyond a healthy work/life balance as is. The owners are only out for themselves and don't actually care about their staff or the families/students. They take advantage and bully the employees. You get paid close to nothing. They make their benefits package look amazing, when in fact they are hardly paying you and they expect you to shower them with "thank yous" for being taken advantage of. When it comes to review/contract offer time, assume the worst, You will be told you are the most amazing teacher, and then they tell you that you don't deserve your end-of-year rewards. I left a few years ago and I still have PTSD from this place. You are treated worse than trash here.

Pros

Pretty woods nearby. There are seriously no other pros I can think of. Cute building?

Cons

Working here was an absolute nightmare. The owners were manipulative, dismissive to degree that could be described as gaslighting, adverserial, and mocking. I was completely disgusted at the culture of body shaming, homophobia, and general derision for alternative lifestyle choices (e.g. being in an open relationship). They treat their teachers like 2nd class citizens and their directors even worse. The sh*t they said behind closed doors was downright inhumanly cruel. If you want to dedicate your entire life to a job for people who won't appreciate you or support you, enjoy working here. Otherwise, stay far, far away.
