Pros
Work was rewarding to see students and parents reach their academic goals. Tutors and Program Leads works genuinely with care and effort - they took the time to build relationships with students and made the learning environment enjoyable. I was lucky to have a new center that was quite successful in order to obtain high incentive pays.
Cons
Upon receiving promotion to Program Director, the district manager lied about non-negotiable starting salary only to later find out others were able to start at a higher salary range with less experience. With the non-exempt/exempt law, it jumped my salary to the min. $48K which is $10K more than what I have been getting paid. There were no salary compensation when the role changed and became more demanding and stressful. The extreme increase in budget each month/year made it impossible to obtain any incentives once the center transition to core centers. And the constant verbal threat from DM that I can lose my job if I do not meet the monthly budget. When the performance starts to drop, instead of help and support - they would make you do more work with meeting and webinars to attend.
