      Decent place to work. Like a tutor factory.

      Pros

      The company promoted me early and raised my pay by one dollar. They also cut my ours in half with little to no notice, leaving me in a bad situation. The work is relatively flexible, and their tutoring system is easy to learn and apply. As a tutor, you come in, sit down, take a few minutes to prep, and you work with 3-4 students per hour. Hours are between 3:30 pm and 7:30 pm. You are mostly like a robot, you don't have to think and after many repetitions, you memorize the lessons anyway. Most of the children are good.

      Cons

      The downsides include when there are children who have behavior issues and/or are rude, disrespectful, disruptive, and distracting to the learning environment. If you are not comfortable with children, you may feel unprepared to deal with some of the children's behaviors. The lead staff will help some, but you will need to be able to set boundaries of how you will allow children to treat you. The lead staff main goal is getting families in to pay for services--they are not trying to kick any kids out based on behavior.

      Pros

      The relationships you build with the students.

      Cons

      - Hours are constantly changing (always cutting hours or last minute additions) - Have to wear multiple hats - Paid at minimum wage, no negotiation - Very little interaction with directors, they just leave you out to dry on your own, leaving you to manage the whole center during your shift - Director is usually out of office - False promises of promotion
