Pros

I don't have anything good to write. Worst place I've ever worked.

Cons

1. Paid teachers $10 an hour. I was teaching four students at a time who were each charged $35 to $50 an hour, and they paid us, certified teachers with degrees and graduate courses, $10. 2. They didn't hire full-time, so only a few hours a day.

Pros

Working with kids, going over positive results for parents. Meeting new families, business outreach, gain a lot of new skills and experience

Cons

No real cons that stand out. Upper management has shown improvement, by leading by example, by getting their hands dirty
