Pros

The only great part were the students and the other tutors, management was a nightmare

Cons

No one appreciated your credentials or experience, Supervisor was very rude and unprofessional and condescending, higher ups were in a "clique" and you felt like the loser kid on the block, No communication, Changed my hours on my time sheet without telling me and had to find out when I saw red marks and slashes and still no one addressed this with me....this was because me and the students showed up on time but my boss was 30 minutes late so they docked my hours...UNBELIEVABLE...Last straw was when I got Yelled out in front of a student when I didnt sign in right when I got there.

Pros

The best part about this job is the fact that it gave teachers who have been struggling through this tough economy to find full time teaching jobs a chance to do what they want to do in life. Getting to work with the students is rewarding and helpful.

Cons

There are two big cons at this job. The first is that most shifts do not last more than 1.5 hours. Personally, I worked this out to be an 8 dollar net take after taxes and gas. Then you can add that onto that they do not deny any clients. I was forced to work with a 5 year old who had a poor vocabulary. I am secondary education so not only did my work ability suffer but also did the child's experience.

Pros

Few talented people are still employed by HLC and they are joy to meet. Compensation was very competitive but negative experiences outweigh it.

Cons

Executives and the willing cadre of managers are destroying any hope for competent people to sustain productive work. Total lack of true market-driven performance assessments, intimidation, demeaning comments made in group setting are injurious and hostile and unfortunately dominate the culture. Professionals who made a mistake and joined the company did it in part because HLC pays more than average so it is tempting but the price becomes too high very fast and if you have any decency and self respect you will find yourself running from the place. There is no balance between work and life at corporate office or in the corporate-owned centers. (I did not work for franchised centers so this comment in no way reflects those locations.) Number of Centers reduced due to a combination of tough economy and the lack of trust between the corporate and franchisees. Any true change is not possible because of lack of trust. The changes are necessary in any company because of the competitive environment every company has to navigate, but the most talented individuals left the company already.
