Chaotic but fine
Not a bad job. Barely gives any hours. Some kids are unbearable to be around. Also, staff werent given any training which made transitioning to working there difficult.

Stable pay
Nice people and table pay. All equipment provided to perform the job. Micro managed environment and pay is decent . Good training but too repetitive as for the tasks

Fast paced, but not too intensive workplace
Great place for students to work as a first job. Lots of communicating with different groups of people (students, management, parents, coworkers). It’s a fast paced environment, but not too stressful

Good
I work with kind, intelligent and optimistic people. The director is understanding and nice to work with. I enjoy my job there, and the pay is overall sustainable for part-time. One problem is the workplace ergonomics, the long hours can cause back and neck pain regularly. Otherwise, it's a good place to start your employment journey.
