Reviews for Little Zak's Academy Doonside - Expressions of Interest

As an educator, I must say that working at Little Zak's Doonside has been a highly negative experience. The environment is toxic, with a management team that shows little regard for the well-being of educators. There is a constant fear of termination among staff, as management seems quick to replace existing employees whenever new hires become available. Communication is practically non-existent, adding to the stress of the job. Management frequently requires educators to stay back almost daily without notice, disrupting work-life balance. Additionally, tasks well outside an educator's role—like cleaning the underground carpark and washing trash cans—are expected, which feels highly inappropriate. There is heavy micromanagement, which creates a lack of trust, and educators feel their abilities are undermined. Even break times are poorly managed; I witnessed an instance where an educator was called back from break while eating to return to the room. Overall, this has been an exhausting, disappointing, and unprofessional experience. I would not recommend working here to any fellow educator.
