Pros

It's rewarding to implement programs that really do work and to see such improvement in students. It's great one-on-one teaching experience with all types and ages of students.

Cons

This company claims its main goal is helping students achieve "the magic of learning," but the longer I work here, the more clear it is becoming: the main goal is profit. Every company-wide meeting in the past year has consisted mostly with statistics about profit. What happened to statistics about students and their improvements? For a research-based educational program, you'd think we'd hear about student results rather than financial results. There is an extreme amount of pressure on the center management to generate profit - they celebrate number of students signed up rather than number of students that made instructional gains. When I think about how much the company pays employees vs. charges clients ($13.00 vs. $109.00) it makes me sick to my stomach. Employees are expected to put so much into this job for very little genuine recognition (financial or otherwise). The company culture is good in theory, but can come off as extremely robotic and phony. The "Disney model" is extremely corny given the fact that this is a research-based program that is extremely legitimate in terms of educational quality, and certain aspects of it are extremely condescending. Many of the company policies are a little absurd, namely the vacation policy. The fact that employees are not "allowed" to take vacation time between June and August, not to mention the fact that the centers are open on July 4th is quite unfair. I am also constantly working through my breaks to juggle the student-load and get everything done, because overtime is absolutely not allowed.

Treats employees like robots

Pros

Easy work once you have experience. Low probability of being fired.

Cons

Completely scripted, tedious work. Working with children could be great, but the way the job is structured is such that clinicians are told what to say, when to say it, and how it say it. Some may like that, but there is no challenge and yet it's still a demanding job because working with children requires a lot of energy. Clinicians are not trusted and are spoken to like children. Talented people often do not like being micromanaged and demeaned. One of my favorite times was when I was given a certificate in my cubby that said something along the lines of "Congratulations on being selected for a new leadership opportunity." What was the leadership opportunity? It was coming in to work in the morning to clean and turn on lights. I was fine with beings asked to do that. But what I was not fine with was being patronized about how this was a leadership opportunity. This is just one example of the way that employees treated on a daily basis. It is clear that I was viewed as expendable and interchangeable. And the worst part: the company billed $104/hour to clients and yet I only made $14/hour. I don't care if there are overhead costs. That is exploitation. Oh, and almost every single person at my center, when I worked there, wanted--desperately--to leave. This place felt like a horrible, miserable trap where you are forced to paint a fake happy face for wealthy parents and students.
