Pros

I mean, it's childcare, what can you expect? Pros for my role were being able to work alone in a kitchen, and got a lot of time to myself.

Cons

Cons were that I was, especially towards the end of my time there, constantly pulled into a classroom to provide additional support because higher management would not allow us to hire more teachers until we met certain occupancy goals. This mean that we had constant holes in coverage, and I would be pulled away from my duties (cooking) to be a teacher. This became very stressful as I was effectively juggling two jobs at once. My hours were also cut down to 30 hours/ week from 40 after higher ups said that I should not need that much time to do my job, meaning that I was still doing almost all of the same responsibilities and filling in the classrooms in two hours less time.

Pros

Gained a lot of experience, had a wonderful time and experiences with kids and families, the hours were decent.

Cons

Upper management was horrible and unhelpful in most situations. Co-workers engaged in high-school like behavior. Not enough staff for the amount of kids which led to overwhelming and potentially dangerous situations. It led to burnout very quickly.
