Pros

Overall, Mathnasium is a good company. I enjoyed working with the students, helping them with school and homework, and seeing their self-confidence rise when they were able to bring their math grades up.

Cons

The franchise that I worked for often required employees to complete unpaid training. There were three locations owned by the same people and they required two of the locations to travel a significant distance for the monthly trainings, but offered no compensation for the travel. The center director did not know how to read the employees or the students. For example, a student came into the center crying and he pushed her to complete work until she walked out. Would often interrupt instructors when trying to explain concepts to students. You do not get a lot of hours. The most hours I ever had in a week was 12, and my schedule was completely open. All three local centers were run in a very unusual fashion that was not mentioned during the hiring process. During my interview, I was asked odd questions that did not pertain to the job and were more personal based.

Pros

The kids are always great. If you like working with kids, you'll enjoy working at Mathnasium. The schedule is often flexible. I personally tried to work as many shifts as possible but I know we often had people on the team only working one or two shifts a week by choice.

Cons

Not enough hours to make a living - you need to find another part-time job to fit around the centre's hours if you are trying to support yourself. The schedule through the school year is kind of annoying if you work every day it's open. You work Monday-Thursday, have Friday off, then work Saturday, then have Sunday off. It might surprise you how much different having two days off in a row vs. two separate days off can feel for your mental health. I found both centres I've worked at to be somewhat unorganized and often the communication with staff about things like schedule changes, summer hours, etc. was delayed or nonexistent.
