Vantaggi
There is opportunity to grow as a educator since the weekly curriculum is created and determined individually by the teachers and aides of each classroom. Plus, all employees receive mandated training on the best educating practices for Early Childhood Development, in addition to basically free schooling (as reimbursed by Kidango) if you are a teacher aide looking to obtain your AA in ECD. Besides these, though, the kids overall are awesome and absolutely the best part of the job. They'll always put a smile on your face, even on the days where some kids may be struggling in behavior more than others.
Svantaggi
Senior leadership at centers (particularly Site Directors and Regional Directors who only visit every once in a while) execute poorly in their management. My own Site Director did not know the names of some kids who had who had been there for well over a year, plus I was definitely working more hours than her. Because she is salaried, she was able to come and go as she pleased and retain her pay while teachers and aides were at the site actually working. This was not well-supervised since hardly anyone ever came by to check if she was doing her job. During my time working, I also noticed a lot of favoritism among staff and even so far as the handing off of work meant for a Site Director to a regular teacher.
