Pros

Working with children and witnessing that moment where a difficult concept finally clicks for them is always rewarding, but there are far better companies that provide the same opportunity.

Cons

Extremely poor training methods, not the greatest curriculum, and an incompetent director who barely spoke or understood English and was rude to boot - after the assistant director (who had essentially been running the center for her and who was fluent in both English and Korean and thereby also capable of acting as a translator for her) left, keeping things on track and achieving any sort of effective communication with management became impossible. I'd hope for the company's sake this was just limited to my location, but judging by some of the other reviews, other employees at centers across the US have had similar experiences.

It is great to hear that you share our passion for learning - we believe in our students and their potential for greatness. The quality of C2’s instruction and staff is evidenced by extremely positive customer interviews and a high percentage of customer referrals. In fact, 73% of customers have recommended C2 and most C2 students renew their hours after using up their initial purchase. Thank you for sharing your experience at the Chatham center. Our leadership team has recognized the need for and has made significant strides to improve the channels of communication within the organization. We have also gone thru a complete redesign of the training program with a huge focus on the “C2 Way” that encourages engagement and a sense of community from the start. Current opportunities for collaboration exist through discussions, peer-review assignments, and webinars that create a sense of “together-ness.”

Pros

-During school year, you will have mornings and Fridays off so you can run errands. -It feels rewarding when students and families see the result of your efforts and trust that you will achieve their academic needs and goals. -Most teachers are dedicated and friendly. -You are in charge of your own center with your business style (as long as you make the sales). -You will learn a lot of how to run the business. It is a great opportunity in your resume if you want to grow in the education field.

Cons

-Work on Saturdays. -Extreme pressure under the management when you fall behind the sale target, so the District Manager will micro-manage you. They will ask you to work above and beyond the job scope because you are salary paid. - They ask you to meet the sale while well managing current students' academic progress. Too many plates for one person. -Since the new CEO comes, they spend millions of dollars in new software: Microsoft workspace, Salesforces, Docusign. I don't even know if the implementation are necessary or they should use this money to other areas. They give you the new laptop but tell you it is not connected to the printer so you still need the old laptop for printing :O -High turnover rate of education coordinators, because they are demanded to do so much work while under paid. There is no room for career growth if the center director stays for years.

Pros

Position: Education Coordinator (Previously Program Lead) - Great teachers to work with - Depending on your Center Director, you can have a really successful time here at work (then again, it depends on your Center Director) - Interaction with families and students constantly

Cons

- You're more of a Sales representative than an education coordinator (not sure why we can't just call this position "sales"... maybe so we don't get bonuses) - You would have to meet your "budget" on a monthly basis otherwise you will be scheduled to meet with management on a weekly basis to report your tasks and responsibilities - Work/Life balance is only given if you are an advocate for yourself - Management can really determine how happy and successful you are here at the company - Upper management has extreme high expectations (they think it's achievable, but doesn't see the whole picture. I *HAD* to really advocate for my own sanity and work/life balance. And I know it's not something everyone is comfortable confronting) - Education Coordinators (previously knows as Program Leads) are pretty much expected to complete 80% of Center Director's job but you're getting about half their pay... if that. - Retention is low (opportunities to climb up the latter was not too hard because people were quitting left and right) - There are always talks about improving the company but rarely things fall through (pretty much blank promises to keep employees longer)
