Pros

Was able to gain valuable experience as an online teacher. My subject area supervisor was great. Worked from home. Hours were fairly flexible.

Cons

Pay was $12/hr. After three years, got a whopping raise of 24 cents. At one point as a part-time teacher, I had 800 students. Keystone School was year-round, no summers off. Full-time teachers (50 wks/yr) were paid only $30,000/yr. Very high turnover of staff and management.

Pros

Great collaboration with highly professional colleagues who truly care about teaching and education. Work remotely.

Cons

Insufficient training for the many responsibilities of the position. Insufficient follow-up from the upper administration on said responsibilities. Workload increased to levels that made completion of said workload difficult (with putting in extra hours without added compensation) to basically impossible. Difficult to change roles (at least, in my position). Many additional hours away from the classroom, which greatly disrupted educational continuity.
