Pros

The job is centered around service, so naturally it is very rewarding. I loved helping students, stepping into a mentorship role, and supporting my partner teacher. It felt like there was a great need for support at the school that I was able to help meet.

Cons

You are dealing with very difficult hours, emotions, and responsibilities with little training going in. Although there were trainings built throughout the program, they were more theoretical in nature rather than applicable skills. I also had a bad experience with my Team Lead which could have influenced my experience compared to others. Lastly, there was a lack of diversity in the program.

Pros

connecting with the students will be one of the most rewarding takeways.

- lack of admin initiative, at times it feels we are being criticized for our job when we get paid crumbs (11$ and hour after tax, california).
