Pros

It is relatively easy to get hired if you got good SAT scores. It is a nice side-income and a way to get classroom teaching experience.

Cons

You are basically a contractor for a company that makes a huge profit. The peppy/corporate way that management speaks to employees is degrading. I have had multiple conversations with managers where they just spoke right through me.

Pros

Great benefits for healthcare, not dental or vision. Company matches on some benefits including 401k. Company provides free college education.

Cons

Pay is below the state and local average for any position. Executive team is way overpaid. Smile or get in trouble. Lean is highly Voluntold, but is a complete front. They proclaim they want lean, but in the end they even their continuous improvement team is a hypocrite with lean.
