Pros

I was a part time SAT instructor -High quality curriculum provided -Lots of support from faculty manager, mentor, and veteran teachers -Good pay (started at $20/hr) -Opportunities to move up within the company -Free test prep class! -Flexible times -They will pay you more if your travel is excessive

Cons

-Hard to get a raise -Evaluated on teacher excellence rate only. Students rate teachers either poor, fair, good, or excellent, but the only positive rating is excellent. A teacher with 10 good ratings will be rated the same as a teacher with 10 poor ratings. -You rarely see your co-workers in person (could be a pro or a con depending on preference), just on video chat.
