Pros

It is an extreme pleasure to work there. The people are extremely nice and very polite and engaging with students and staff.

Cons

The pay is horrible compared to how much you can earn teaching or tutoring on your own. They should do something about this.

Pros

If you're looking for a part-time job, you won't find one that pays much better than this. After one raise (which only required me to cross-train for another test), I earn $24/hour, which isn't too shabby for a part-time job. Also, if you're a recent grad, this is a good resume-job; it's a respectable position that you can use to fill in between full-time jobs, or in tandem with one. The management and staff are friendly and easy to work with, and they work to provide top-quality service.

Cons

The hours are varied and if you don't go for classes, you may find yourself without classes and pay for a little while. Sometimes class material can be confusing, and it may take some additional work/contacts to figure it out.

Pros

Working as an instructor is a great part-time job while in college or graduate school. The pay is higher than other part time work, the work is fun once you get the hang of it, and you can teach as much or as little as you like depending on your own academic work load.

Cons

This job cannot substitute for full time employment, monetarily or intellectually. It is really meant for students who need a little extra cash.
