Pros
Genuinely rewarding work. You get an opportunity to have a positive impact on kids and learn and experience new cultures.
Cons
Extremely disorganized and understaffed. There was generally a complete lack of a plan or guidelines the onus was on the staff to essentially create an activities program out of thin air. Most often without adequate supplies. The company showed little regard for staff welfare or mental health. Placing young workers under extreme pressure while working long hours often over those contracted. Some staff were brought to tears on multiple occasions due to the pressure they were under. Many staff were also layed off on mass as soon as there was no need for them very few seasonal staff were kept on for the duration of their contract with some who were hired late being let go with no notice. Instances of misbehaviour and abuse of staff were also badly handled. There is virtually no disciplinary structure for the children. It is entirety dependent on group leaders managing there own kids which unfortunately is not always the case.
