We keep being told that there is no money for raises. I also have not been compesated for a week of pay lost due to Covid, have no more vacation time or personal hours left and it is only August. They preach "self-care" at us and diversity, but offer no solutions.
What are some of the best things about your team?
We all do our best to pitch in and help one another when one of us is struggling.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Communication. Stop with the unspoken expectation that employees will work on their free time and spend their personal money for supplies just so their classrooms will operate smoothly.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Working with my co-workers, children and their families. They are the ONLY reason I am TRYING to stay in the field. However, if I continue to struggle financially, I will have no choice but to make a move.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Higher pay and a clear pathway to advancement. The understanding that as I am an "older" employee who has returned to college to obtain her degree...but LIFE EXPERIENCE should ALSO be considered. Not just having a piece of paper.
What makes you most happy at work?
Being able to be in charge of a classroom, but it is also very stressful. The unspoken expectations of working off the clock to prevent OT and never having the supplies needed for curricuulum resulting in out of pocket expenses.
What did you like most about the interview process?
I was promised a raise as lead teacher when I agreed to go to my current location but then Covid hit abd I did not receive it. I made the choice to return to college to increase my earning power. There is little guidance as promised career path wise.
