Group Leader (Former Employee) – Whittier, CA – November 9, 2017
I worked for the district but was a group leader for the afterschool program so I'm only rating the after school program because they have their own staff and management. I'm sure other positions are pleasant to work for the district but if your applying for any after school positions good luck. Would not recommend this job unless you enjoy poor Management. No room for advancement and they have so much favoritism hard work does not pay off. The hourly pay is not worth al the work and stress you have to go trough.
