Pros

The fundamentals of the programs are sound and effective. In my four years there, I saw the programs benefit a multitude of kids. With effective teachers and proper training, students of all ages can benefit. For teachers, the part time job is an excellent addition to any full time position elsewhere. There is very little outside work and the work is rewarding in many ways.

Cons

From my experience on the management side of the center, the focus tends to be much more on revenue than on the success of individual students. If a center puts the company's mission first (to provide the best education possible), then success can be achieved. Unfortunately, the focus rarely is on the mission. Instead it is on hard-line recruiting, often to the detriment of current students. The pay is poor, especially so in the center I was in. Management positions require employees to perform myriad responsibilities with little compensation and little thanks. I believe in the mission of the business, but have rarely seen it in action.

Not worth my time

Pros

The process Huntington uses to tutor students is like following a recipe, therefore, the job was very easy.

Cons

The center was unorganized. Very often you could not find the textbook or answer key you needed to use to work with a student quickly, or easily. Sometimes they were assigned a book that was no longer used at the center, or was not an appropriate grade level for the student. This wasted time during a student's session. The management at my center was unorganized. For example, I was never given a code to the time clock. It seemed that only half the people working at the center used the time clock. The other half were told to use a sign in sheet. This led to frequent problems with my pay checks being short hours and more than once I did not even receive a check for an entire pay period! Now, after quitting I am having trouble collecting pay owed. Management was not good about notifying employees of mandatory staff meetings, I was once notified an hour before a meeting. I had to call multiple times to try and get a hold of someone to be given my scheduled hours for the next week. The schedule was usually completed on the weekend. So you would know by Saturday or Sunday if you had to work on Monday. With all the problems caused by the lack of organization of management, I've had to spend much of my own time advocating for myself and this job was not worth my time.

Pros

The best part of the job is that there is no lesson planning required, just show up and there will be a lesson plan for the student already. There is no grading of papers or dealing with the parents of the children.

Cons

The curriculum is a bit thin and it is not particularly organized well. There also isn't much interaction between the staff, aside from "mandatory" quarterly meetings where the staff are corralled after hours to brainstorm for ideas to help improve the center.
