Pros

It can make you feel like you're doing "good". It's certainly self-congratulatory enough

Cons

Pay, long hours, making minimal impact and maybe even doing more harm than good, very limited options to move on after

Pros

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

Cons

- 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).
