Pros

ESS was an okay employer.

Cons

I’ve had multiple interactions with this company’s HR department, and unfortunately, the experience has been consistently disappointing. Communication has been unclear and at times nonexistent, particularly regarding important updates that directly affected my employment opportunities. On more than one occasion, I was left without explanation after decisions were made, which created unnecessary confusion and frustration. A lack of transparency and follow-through made it difficult to feel respected or valued throughout the process. I hope the company takes steps to improve its internal communication and accountability, as these experiences reflect poorly on what could otherwise be a strong organization.

Pros

Flexible hours and rotating workplaces

Cons

Corporate is lazy and underpays. They pretend they give benefits, but the benefits offered are prohibitively expensive for nigh nonexistent coverage. Hours are not gaurunteed. There are few to no restrictions on who is allowed to teach kids. During the "Interview" (there wasn't an interveiw) they just did an unpaid eight hour orientation training that they pretended was an interveiw so they could steal your fairly earned wages. I hate these guys.
