Bright Horizons Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"Bright Horizons boasts about work/life balance and that is a top company to work for. This may be true for corporate office positions, but it does not hold true to those in the centers. Expect high stress, low pay and lack of support from higher level management while being forced to shuffle staff between other locations against their wishes."

"Leadership is extremely manipulative. A lot of money is being wasted for 3 women to be sitting in the office all day, and accomplishing nothing. They are seen constantly in the office while staff are waiting for bathroom breaks, and lunches talking about their dogs. The director is impressed with herself if she is able to complete the newsletter. Both RM's that were over her were personal friends, and because of her charming personality the do not hold her accountable. The ed core is a total joke. She needs to learn to practice what she teaches. Instead of modeling she sits and does not move. They will bring kids into the office when over ratio instead of walking into a classroom. Then say how much they love children. Joke."

"I've worked for Bright Horizons since 2003 and it's a very nice company! I've watched it grow into one of the leaders in Early Childhood Education, and in that time its become a world wide company!"
