Pros

Working with the kids is wonderful; to see a student's life change so dramatically is simply amazing. Also, many of my co-workers were wonderful people, but the goods ones usually don't stay due to pay.

Cons

Over the last few years, top management asked us to take temporary pay cuts a number of times because they were afraid that they weren't going to make "budget". As it turns out, every year was a record profit year for the company. The pay is really a joke, even if you've been there a number of years. Other than pay, the most frustrating aspect of the job is the way they run the HR side of the business. If you have a problem with one of your direct supervisors, don't take it over their head or you'll be gone! Seriously. Anyone over a center director position does NOT want to hear of any problems, and if you happen to speak up, they'll find a way to get rid of you. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this company!

Pros

We see the lives of our students improve through the highly effective one-on-one instruction. The company hires great, like-minded individuals with diverse backgrounds and idealistic perspectives in education.

Cons

The company as a whole does not value its employees and seemingly, could not care less about keeping their highly experienced core staff. The business model has become overtly focused on the bottom line, charging $120+ per hour long tutoring session and paying its tutoring staff a minuscule fraction of that, starting them at $15 per hour. The learning centers in larger urban areas operate like special education assembly-lines and during the peak summer months are as overcrowded as a subway train during rush hour. If the company was sincerely interested in providing the best possible instruction for its students and their families who are investing tens of thousands of dollars on this intensive instruction, they would compensate their staff with a living wage equal to their professional skills and experience. And they would ensure their learning centers were clean and spacious facilities equipped with a maintenance staff to keep things hygienic. In actuality, the center is a mess, students are crammed in like sardines, colds and infections spread quickly, the noise during the summer is deafening and the staff are overworked and underpaid. Job descriptions are vague and often inaccurate. Teaching staff are also maintenance workers, filing clerks, marketing goons and occasionally moving crew. Half the fiscal year, centers are scrambling to hire, train and manage new seasonal teaching staff. Then, after the busy summer is over, most of them are laid off and the center shrinks back down to the highly competent core staff. During the busy summer months these urgently trained temporary tutors provide less than satisfactory instruction and parents are non-the-wiser.

Pros

Helping kids who need it.

Cons

The entire company is one big clique. The top brass are related or close friends to the CEO. If you are not friend or social outside you stand no chance of promotion . Also way too big of an emphasis on sales. Yes you are a business but deception to keep clientele is disgusting, Finally, while considerably better than minimum wage, the pay rate nowhere matches stress level nor what parents expect considering cost
