Pros

Great support for someone to become and instructor that has never taught before. Enthusiasm for the students and their success is apparent.

Cons

Management places too much respponsibility on staff, often around things that are completely out of one's control. Every pleaseant experience/activities is overshadowed by underlying threats. Management does not know how to motivate staff, efforts are often demotivating. Seems like corporate's influence is mostly negative, by threating, and demotivating onsite management while forcing them to give the staff the same treatment.

Pros

Good remote environment while not having a lot of micromanagement.

Cons

It's very hard to advance. Promotions seem very hand picked instead of basing them on merits.
