Cons: lack of advancement, poor insurance, extremely low pay, doesn't match for 401k
There aren't many opportunities for advancement with this company. I have been with the company for approximately 6 yrs and have held 3 different positions at different levels. All the positions I was promoted to was because of who I knew and not what I know or my abilities. If you have a good relationship/friendship with a higher level associate then – more... you have a better opportunity to get promoted. The company talks often about promoting from within but they hardly ever do that instead they will hire someone from outside the company to perform the position. Overall the policies and procedures expected from each associate are good, however the follow thru for proper training or good role models from upper level (mgmt) employees isn't usually shown as a good representation. In other words they preach the rules but often don't follow them. It is a decent company to work for to gain early childhood educational experience and then apply the experience and training to another company or open your own business. The most enjoyable part is helping a child to learn. – less
