Enjoyable work with kids, but overwhelming workload

Pros

Getting to work with kids and the schedule

Cons

The workload is a lot and they continue to add more and more on top of an already stressed and stretched thin staff. They say you don't want to follow the oppa way when confronted with this information witch tells me everything I need to know about them. The home office comes in to the schools and change things even when some of them don't even know what it is like to work in a school kitchen. Also you have to do unemployment on the times off instead of doing a 12 month base pay for employees and making subs do unemployment.

Same schedule as my children

Cons

Does not care about you, the students they serve or the food they provide. Worked for them for 5 years and only seen it get worse and worse.
