Pros

I genuinely enjoyed working with the children. Supporting them and being part of their growth was the only meaningful and rewarding part of the experience, and I was grateful for that opportunity.

Cons

• People in positions of power consistently misused authority, keeping pay unreasonably low while prioritizing their on benefit over staff welfare • Employee effort and talent were treated as if they had little to no value, despite the demands of the role • Compensation was extremely low and felt completely disconnected from the heavy workload, stress, and exhaustion required daily • The structure felt inherently unfair, with lower positions automatically treated as less deserving regardless of skill or contribution • Many staff were overworked and under constant pressure without meaningful recognition or support • The environment was draining due to repeated experiences of rude and dismissive behavior from others • Basic communication with colleagues became difficult and stressful, making normal interaction fell like a burden • Over time, the atmosphere became so uncomfortable that withdrawal felt like the only way to cope and protect mental energy

Pros

I have spent considerable time thinking about this, but I fail to come up with even one good thing about this job or workplace.

Cons

This workplace is the worst example of poor planning. Those who set the schedules did a terrible job. As a result, employees suffered. We worked brutal and exhausting hours. The lack of rest started to impact our health. It was awful!
