Wanted to give it more STARs but couldn't

Pros

The kids are great, and its a really rewarding job. The program itself is awesome and the kids all enjoy it. Most of the employees are all very nice and cool.

Cons

Extremely disorganized. Will make you teach classes you know nothing about, give zero direction and zero resources. I started as a sub (mistake) which meant I would get calls literally an hour before a school needed me, for subjects I was by no means qualified to teach. Certain people in STAR HQ building are extremely, extremely rude. I now understand why the turnover rate is so high.

Pros

Great kids, a lot of who, really need the programs Good teaching experience w/o certificate Room for growth even if you start as an after-school sub

Cons

They'll pay you as little as possible They have strange policies about sitting while working with kids in the after-school segment Each school is only as good as its director They try and work you as much as possible (eg 30 hours for no benefits) without pay The best people love their jobs then move on
