Business Outlook

Pros

The Kids are great, the only problem is that the company uses your attachment to seeing the kids you work with prosper to leverage you into bad pay and an increasingly more bad corporate environment.

Cons

- Pay that will drive you to poverty - Completely lackluster upper management - Just do not work here unless you literally have no bills to pay and are going to use it as a line on your resume/CV to get in to grad school for education.

Pros

You're beyond a tutor. It is such a meaningful job because you are able to witness the result of your work and the impact it has on the students. You work with you students for 6 periods Monday through Friday. Seeing your students everyday helps you to bond and build a positive relationship. It never gets boring for me. Everyday you have a goal to reach and the SAGA team motivates you to do better. My site director was amazing to work with. S/0 to Mrs. Kapusta

Cons

The PAY! You're basically leaving from paycheck to paycheck. SAGA should really consider paying tutors more, than focusing on expanding to other schools. Tutor satisfaction is key to the work SAGA is trying to do. I believe no college graduate should be making this much.
