Pros

The kids and teachers are usually really great

Cons

Be aware that franchise owners are focused on profits and brand visibility, not on your success outside these factors or the overall benefit of those actually at the center. This is a sales job, not a non-profit, for child venture.

Pros

Kids are great and materials are alright for instruction

Cons

Parents think the program is for homework help. No benefits only three days a week, closest school was 5 miles away. Expects you to fill out progress supports daily when there is no time on the clock to do such reports. Outside work is expected without being paid.
