Pros

Opportunity to work with mostly motivated students who want to go to college.

Cons

Company does not offer pay upfront for training, promises pay for training after a certain period of hours, then fires employees just shy of (or shortly after) this window. Outcome: people never get pay for significant hours of training, but C2 covers rushes that occur during the year. The Company caters to a certain international community, and the preference within that community is for white or Asian (and only occasionally South Asian) instructors, and this can lead to prejudicial outcomes in employment. The Company expects workers to arrive significantly earlier than their shift, but does not pay for this 30 minutes to an hour of prep (they only pay an hourly wage during actual tutoring hours). If tutors do not arrive early to make copy and prep, they are behind for the entire shift, which is generally hectic, but again *NO PAY* is offered for this prep time. The tutoring shifts can be very hectic, and it is not unusual to have a very active kindergarten student at the table who needs help with arithmetic, a high school sophomore working on a tough Shakespeare paper, and a High School junior struggling through SAT practice all at once, with about two minutes of break before another similar collection of students. Even at about $22 a shift, the company certainly is making out!
