Great Title, Even Greater Let Down of a Job...

Pros

- This job was made bearable because of the students and families I was able to make and maintain fantastic relationships. - Monthly bonuses if revenue goals are

Cons

- Absolutely no support from the franchisee - Had to buy supplies out of pocket because of lack of support and funds - No credit for job well done - Constant calls from previous unhappy families about refunds never dispersed - Revenue goals are set at almost impossible expectations - No lunch break - No healthcare (although written in contract) - Late paychecks - No cleaning crew. I took out trash, cleaned bathrooms, wiped down tables, vacuumed - Unrealistic expectations of daily tasks/responsibilities - Huge turnover rate of full-time staff

Pros

Some of the kids are great! It looks great on a resume due to the fancy titles they give their full time staff. Easy to get a job here if you have a 4 year degree.

Cons

Everything about working for this company is bad! First of all, the interview process is a sham. They down play a lot of what is expected and don't mention all the little important details in the interviews. The pay is very low for the amount of hours you are expected to work and they expect you to work overtime when necessary for no extra pay. They will make you come in on your days off. They operate under the disguise that they care about children but this company only cares about fattening their wallet. At the end of the day all the managers/corporate care about is revenue and how much money we squeeze out of parents. This job offers no healthy work-life balance. Probably one of the worst places I have ever worked!

Huntington HQ is a Nightmare

Pros

The owners -- Mr. & Mrs. Huntington -- go on frequent unannounced vacations. This makes the fearful environment a bit more tolerable on those days.

Cons

I was a manager at Huntington HQ for longer than I care to admit. There's too much negative info to document. Suffice it to say that the Huntingtons (the husband and wife team after whom the company is named) are very bad managers and leaders . Plain and simple. They berate and belittle their employees in the manner of dictators. They became successful by filling a niche in the market 30+ years ago, but their tutoring service and business model is quite abysmal -- hence their tailspin over the past decade. Exploiting insecure parents and students is their reason for being. It's all about money. That is why they don't spend money to their materials, methods, equipment, or training -- things that would make the program more effective for students and franchisees. Like their product and operations, the HQ office is musty and depressing. You do not want to work here.
