Pros
-Working with the kids can be very rewarding. -It's a more entertaining job than retail or office work -Hours are very flexible (especially if you're in school or have other obligations) -HR is actually helpful if you have a serious issue with another employee.
Cons
-The pay is not equal and not great. Someone who started at $10 5 months ago can expect a new hire to be getting $14. -A lot of drama and gossip between co-workers and management. -The hours can awkward if you have nothing to do during the school day. -You might have to work with kids with special needs with zero training or help. -The parents have a 50/50 chance of being the bane of your existence here. -The "curriculum" is not balanced for all grades. Kindergarteners are expected to do the same project as a 5th grader. -Management and upper management sometimes does things under the table and expects you to keep quiet.
