Pros

There was nothing good about this company.

Cons

This is a review for Rockville, MD. It is a scam. They have high standards for tutors, which I have no problem with. However, they only pay us for 5 minutes of prep time per student. Because of the lack of prep time, me and none of the tutors actually taught the way C2 Education wanted us to teach. I wanted too, but I couldn't. Owner made me teach subjects I literally couldn't teach. Students gets charged $200 for a 2 hour session. Sessions were normally with 3 students. Their claim that they can't pay tutors too much even though they make $600 revenue on a session is laughable. Owner didn't know what the minimum wage was. Corporate offices didn't know either even though the minimum wage in Montgomery County, MD was known 3 years before it took effect. Therefore, their claim of we didn't know was probably (a bad word I can't say on Glassdoor). The owner was always in conferences. If I had to talk to her, she would always say to talk to her later. I even had to tell the students at times that it was the owner's fault the student's situation couldn't be sorted out. Some of the issues I had were really urgent, but the owner didn't care. I didn't want to get in trouble for urgent issues students had. I'd rather have the owner get in trouble. That's how much respect I had for her. The owner also threatened me when I mentioned the minimum wage to her. Lastly, when I went in for an interview, they didn't even know I was coming. They had to call somebody to come in to interview me.

HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT.

Pros

Good training system. Opportunities to move up.

Cons

Expect to work overtime every week. District managers and regional vp's are uneducated, unprofessional, old Asian women whose monthly/quarterly bonuses depend on center director's sales performance, and they have no work experience outside the Asian community. So often times, you are expected to work 6 days a week and stay after hrs to make more sales, unless you reached your unreasonably and unrealistically high monthly sales goal. These people have no life outside of work, so they willingly work 50+hrs/week and expect you to do the same. I have witnessed so much power struggle, gossip, drama, fights amongst the upper management. All they care about is money, not education. There's a reason this company has one of the highest turnover rates.

Pros

There were none. I am not exaggerating. Except for the fact that they are great at making employees fell like (not allowed to post bad language on glassdoor).

Cons

I worked at the C2 Education in Rockville, MD. It was horrible. When I arrived for my interview, they had to call in somebody to interview me. They claimed(even somebody from corporate) they didn't know what the minmum wage ws, even though it was required by law to post it on the wall(They had it posted on a wall.) When I inquired about it, my boss threatened to change my scheudle(I didn't even have one). I'm a disaster at Science. I told my boss this during my interview. She still forced me to teach science(Those classes were a disaster). They only give tutors 5 minutes to lesson plan for each student. One is not allowed to go early or leave late to do extra lesson planning. Imagine if parents found out. None of the tutors were able to meet the expectations of C2 because there was no time to meet them(We normally tutored 3 students at a time.) because we weren't given time to prepare. Come up with 1.5 hours of homework for each student and go over at least 5 subjects with each student? Ridiculous.
