Pros

I absolutely loved working with the kids and my co-workers at Partners. There was nothing more satisfying than coming to work and laughing or giggling multiple times a day, seen the progress in a child's abilities, or having each day be a different experience than the day before.

Cons

This company, however, like many others in this field, offers little to no opportunity for growth for it's employees. Besides those in administration, there are only maybe 3-4 different types of positions employees can have working there. Most new employees come into the company with the same title and same responsibilities, but it's not easy to move out of that position. And whether you're in that position for 5 months or 5 years, the pay most likely will hardly change. Other 'higher up' positions have had the same people holding those positions for years, which may or may not be a bad thing, but it shows that they don't have many options to move up in the company as well, and newer employees won't get the chance to fill their shoes. The company cycles through employing tons of new college graduates every summer because the 'drop-out rate' of employees leaving after a year or two fairly high. So even though it's a company worth getting to know, some major revising is needed of their employee growth system.
