The person who I reported to, does not have strong communication. And most would agree, that to be in a HR position, one must be able to communicate effectively.
That person seemed to not keep up on the office coordinator feedback of inventory and would constantly get confused on which OC did what specific task (since there was a high turn over for the OF position). Someone in HR should be able to demonstrate knowledge of the workplace.
That particular person also had a very bad passive aggressive attitude, which made the work environment feel very uncomfortable and stressful.

Teachers who worked on campuses were always being reported for horrible behavior by parents, which is very alarming since they work with children.

Many have also shared that there have been over 20 office coordinators in the past 3 years. Which I HIGHLY believe it’s due to the the person who I reported to, lack of professionalism, and poor communication.

Overall, I DO NOT recommend working for this company.

You going to be always active following curriculum schedule

I truly enjoyed working with this company, on the phone, got to know the parents, as a bilingual clerk, it was great to help them and place them in the schools of their choice and daycare. the people are very nice, i asked alot of questions, and they happly answered and i was able to learn more.

They have good benefits like medical dentil sick time and vacation. The staff is very nice and welcoming including the parents.  Most of the centers are understaff, so that makes it’s hard and stressful at times. They do have outside help like temps coming to help but that can only help so much since it’s like training a new person every couple days. Your expected to do a lot and carry many hats so don’t be surprised. The burn out it real. 

This specific school has to be one of the worst I've ever seen. The top managers don't care about you. There is favoritism all around. The teachers DO NOT GET PAID ENOUGH for everything they are asked to do. NO TEACHERS AND HIGH RATIO. you are basically always out of ratio. This school was so different before with the years its just getting worse and worse. Its really a horrible company.

During the time that I was working there I got all the experience to work with children. And also I had the opportunity to go to college and study Child Development Unit Classes and prepare more, with training workshops, orientations, They gave me the opportunity to develop all my skills.

I like being around children, fun to be with.
I learned how to deal with children, the way to communicate.
Maagement was great.
Co-workers were fun to be around, they made me feel welcome like home.
Sometimes the hardest part agreeing on one thing.
But other than that I enjoyed working with my staff and children.

The management was unprofessional and stressful.  The management was abusive and degrading to staff.  It was difficult to work in an environment where constructive criticism was abusive.

Great opportunities for teachers who want to place their foot in the door. Great benefits and resources to advance in your career. Too much paperwork and not enough time to complete.

Horrible experience do not work here!!!!!!!!  They treat other cultures differently! Staff can care less if you need help; had I did my research first I would not have applied.
