Pros

If you are going into a career teaching children it is great experience. Good for a part time job while you are going to school.

Cons

The higher ups really don't care about the part time staff which makes up most of the teachers. They expect you to treat STAR like it is a full time job and get upset when you have other commitments, but they will not compensate you or give you any benefits of a full time job. They only promote to full time jobs based on how long you have been there so there is little room for growth, unless you want to stay for years. Because of this, most of the directors are people who started at STAR as their first jobs, stayed there for years, and moved up to director. Just because someone is good with kids does not mean they are good at managing adults so most of the directors have no idea how to manage their jobs. Extremely high turnover with little to no training so the new people have no idea what's going on. They always need people so they will hire pretty much anyone.

Pros

High pay Fun work with children Friendly co-workers and management

Cons

Can only work at certain times (i.e. after school) - but that's what the business is, so this can hardly be held against them
