Pros

Flexible schedule, fun to work with children, all the coworkers worked together well. There were also a lot of resources, and the SAT/ACT prep materials were excellent and well-organized

Cons

The hourly pay for teachers compared to what they are charging parents is abysmal. Their system was too stringent and didn't allow for freedom of teachers to tweak the curriculum

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.
