      Not the best experience for part time staff.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - classrooms are well-equipped - most students are pleasant - curriculum is pretty straight-forward, but some books have errors

      Cons

      - part time staff are treated like guests - no benefits for a year (this is a billion dollar company) - administrative staff aren't supportive - don't expect to be taken serious if you're a POC - HR is a joke - nepotism seems to be the norm ...basically you'd be better off getting a teaching job overseas.

      Long hours, low pay, great co-workers

      Manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Co-workers tend to be intellectually curious, fun, smart people. Many managers started as test prep teachers, so they're smart and have good people skills. Managers who weren't hired as teachers generally fit in with those who were, so they're also good thinkers and good with people. Also, a lot of job roles are remote, and working from home is great. The work itself can be rewarding, if you either enjoy standardized tests or enjoy helping people do well on them so they can access greater opportunities in life. There are opportunities for advancement and for lateral moves to do a lot of different things, although competition for openings tends to be stiff because your co-workers are so talented.

      Cons

      I've hardly ever worked less than a 60-hour week. Many people work when they're on vacation. Holidays are basically days without meetings when you can work without interruption and catch up. The pay is about 15%–20% less than market for the same skill set.

      Pros

      The reps are what keeps people from leaving. The culture is fun and the front line employees are what makes coming to work worth it.

      Cons

      Management seems out of touch. There is a lot of nepotism in the office and at times it feels like management wants someone to kiss butt to be in their group. It seems like it's high school all over again
