Pros

The truth is that I enjoyed working at this company because of their values, their general high-performance and the high-quality people that are hired. You get to set your own hours within very liberal limits, so as a part-time job, that's a great feature. The offices are beautiful and it's fun and deeply fulfilling to help kids.

Cons

My overall feeling is that anyone doing this kind of work who has a bachelor's degree or more would essentially be settling for far-below-market compensation and almost zero benefits compared to the general job market for the same skills. As expected with the low compensation, most folks seem to do this temporarily until they find the next step of their career. If you are lucky, you could be one of few who find a pathway to progress/grow within the company, but even if so, you would be performing at high level while paid peanuts.

Pros

It's a decent job and the students are nice to work with. You can pick your own schedule, and there is training when you start. Generally, department heads are nice and will answer any questions, and you'll be set up with a mentor who will guide you through the tutoring process and can help with harder situations.

Cons

Company healthcare is atrocious to begin with, and you have to maintain a 35 hour/week average (including over the summer) in order to keep it. There is no real path upwards other than if you are happy doing more sales tasks (despite the yearly emails about paths upwards). There isn't much of a community due to people joining and leaving AJ often. Very few people have been at AJ for over 5 years.

Pros

Good training, reasonable starting salary, tight community of cool nerds.

Cons

VERY low ceiling, many wage and hour violations, they don't care about employee longevity, zero effort to retain veteran employees. First 1-3 years is excellent: seemingly high pay, lots of work (if you are good at tutoring), very good training, inclusive community. After 3+ years you realize that management is taking advantage of the veteran tutors; you can't make a high salary, you don't get any rewards for continuing students/generating referrals, and they use the reputation of the experienced tutors in order to pretend that the new tutors are just as good (they generally are not).
