Pros

Adorable children, good location, clean and bright classroom.

Cons

Supervisor is moody and not caring. Pressure on teachers to put on great show for parents instead of real care. No support to teachers to perform their jobs. Lots of paperwork and low pay.

Pros

Co-workers and the kiddos are great!

Cons

The CEO should be fired! She treats staff very unfair!. She micromanages all her staff. Managers and staff don't last more than a year. They hire anyone that applies because of desperation. If you are going to hire anyone at least make sure you train them well. There is no consistency with managers or staff. If you complain you'll either get a write-up or get fired. I have no idea how the CEO has been able to get away with all the wrongful terminations she has done!

Pros

SJBCDC provides a vital community service. Affordable child care for working families, especially given the price of the bay area, is important.

Cons

Unfortunately, government funding comes with a mountain of paperwork that staff was not given adequate time to complete at work. Overtime was rarely if ever approved, and it was regularly expected that you would work off the clock to 'meet your job expectations.' The company also poorly handled a case of workplace bullying, and allowed it to go on for years. Teachers also quickly get burned out, trying to help a classroom with 24 low-income children, even with a reasonable staff ratio of 1-to-8. Site Supervisors also often harried staff for any incident that happened in the classroom - intent on finding out who was 'at fault.'
