Pros
-The job itself is fulfilling. -The recruiting is many comprised of current or former tutors so that ensures that persons who get hired are the right fit (for the students)and makes a great work environment. The fellow tutors are really awesome -Try to provide support in form of the site director (supervisor) -Upper leadership makes an effort to be accessible -Great opportunities for mobility in the company when you start off as a tutor. Also since most employees started off as tutors themselves, they are empathetic to the emotional and financial struggles that can come with being a tutor.
Cons
-The pay sucks. Its called a service year for a reason. -The job can take emotional tolls on you as you working with kids who are sometimes challenged academically, emotionally and behaviorally. -I find the work-life balance to be great -Your experience can vary greatly based on who your site director is.
