Pros

I wish I could say something nice. But I know that they are very calculated about whom they put in a role to make it appear that they are being "diverse" and "forward thinking".

Cons

There are some many things to hit on. Firstly, the students are not being correctly assessed and prepared for the stat exam. The organization makes tests that only assess student proficiency from K-8. The materials used for the tutorial are extremely sub-par, and that does not include the rampant errors in it. The course material isn't rigorous or staggered to meet the varying educational needs of students. They love to send people to visit who are actually spies who report things back to upper management. They even convince some tutors to report information up the chain. Additionally, the CEO visits and tells the students that he is the CEO as though it means something to them. Oftentimes, the students are not always elated to be in the program because most schools see it as a non - academic course. Thus, they don't benefit all the time due to the credit system in their schools. There are tutors who are not even proficient in the material who are instructing the students, which is risky. The CEO regales people that the tutors work for the opportunity to work with students and make a different. But the salary is very underwhelming to say the least. I am surprised that tutors feel motivated to come to work each day, when upper management has the funds.
