Pros

Started out as a nice way to earn additional income doing something I love. The students are fun, and I like the individual programs. Very flexible with time requested off.

Cons

Pay is ridiculously low. Instructors are sometimes required to teach three different programs in a given hour. No steady hours. Sometimes I drive all the way to the center only to be told I am not needed. Other times tables are "condensed" after the hour has started and instructors are sent home early. I have worked many unpaid hours because of poor management.

Pros

I enjoyed the work I did do. Working with the children and helping with teachers was fun and I got to socialize quite often with staff and students.

Cons

I was fired for missing one shift because my mother ended up in an accident. I did not get to explain myself for missing said shift and was told to think about my actions for 4 days before being let go. Extremely unprofessional.
