Pros
The kids. It's a great feeling to be able to help children. The training provided for reading difficulties and disabilities such as dyslexia is much better than any online Barton certification.
Cons
Ironically the employees are taught to deal with the children in a very positive non critical manner, however the work environment was the opposite. In fact the design of the coaching of employees is set up to be highly critical from hour to hour. Senior employees are expected to find a list of issues to criticize new empolyees, and this went on for over 6 months. This was the most depressing job I've ever had. I dreaded going to work. It definitely effected my self esteem. The manager consistently made comments to me about my single parent status, such as, "I would think as a single parent you would want to take on more hours."
