Pros

The instructors are highly qualified and really enjoy helping students achieve their goals. Many of the staff and instructors work hard to build quality programs

Cons

Management has no idea how to manage or lead. Accolades are given based on personal friendships, not measurable, qualitative abilities. Students are given full rein of the campus. There is no support for faulty or staff. The workplace environment is extremely toxic, to the point where staff and instructors have fallen ill.

Pros

Flexible, lot of ongoing classes, pay is pretty normal for this type of job (about$23/hour in Bay Area), potential to train in order to teach other classes.

Cons

Kind of gets boring teaching the class over and over again. About a year ago (beginning of 2011) had financial issues and did all sorts of changes. Brought in new managers and started doing "development plans" - waste of time and ridiculous. New managers giving advice and feedback without ever sitting in classes based on student reviews. What?!
