Pros

The best part of this position was my team. Without my coworkers I feel like the long hours, stressful position and low pay would have driven me to quit the position early.

Cons

Mentally and emotionally draining work on low pay and long days.

Pros

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