Pros

The children, the families, and a small group of coworkers, were seriously the only things that kept me around.

Cons

Poor pay compared to other preschools in the area; franchise-wide focus on paperwork and ridiculous "curricula" that does nothing to foster meaningful development in the children; very limited benefits; no set payscale (staff who have an unrelated, or no, college degree make as much compensation or more than those staff who are licensed, accredited teachers); franchisees who aren't required to have any knowledge about preschools or education before opening a school; franchisees who have no desire to spend money on their programs above lining their own pockets.

Pros

Not sure there are pros.

Cons

My advice: do not work here. They do not value their employees whatsoever. You are just a body. The office/management does nothing but sit in the office while their employees are miserable all day. I had a death in my family and they did not care. You will work long hours, incredibly low pay, and no support from the higher ups. Management needs to go.
