Pros

there are no pros. they've been extremely rude, unprofessional, and unavailable during regular business hours.

Cons

6 weeks post offer date and still havent been told the requirements i need to fufil to begin working since I had to have a medical exemption for the tb skin test (prior reaction to test). After getting a doctor's note (that they required), they said I had to take a blood test. When I confirmed with them that the blood test would suffice they didn't know what the blood test was? Insanity.

Tutors are completely on their own

Pros

Hourly wage is somewhat competitive. Once you get settled with your tutoring routine, there is limited oversight. The tutors themselves are motivated, knowledgeable, and hard working. Solidarity with other tutors has been a positive experience. UI is a beautiful demonstration of why education should not be privatized.

Cons

All administration and supervisors are remote. More often than not, administration is unresponsive to emails. However they are very quick to ask you to correct your timesheet if you exceed what they prescribed for you. Their "high-intensity tutoring" model seems effective at marketing, but has no substance. UI provides tutors bare minimum training and has little knowledge of what its end-user services are actually like. After they give you a shoebox of the cheapest, most basic classroom supplies they could find, they do not provide any materials or curriculum. They rely entirely on tutors to purchase whatever they need to teach students, and to figure out what and how to teach them. Amazingly, they expect tutors to follow their "high intensity" model. No benefits of any kind.

Pros

The pay is pretty generous epspecially if you're right out of college without much experience like I was. The team was very warm and welcoming and were eager to connect me with the school district.

Cons

I was assigned as an aide for an entire school year as a contractor and was eligble to become a district employee after 60 working days. However, after just 6 weeks of my assignment I was abruptly called and told that my assignment ended with no details or reasons. I read other reviews and heard this was not an isolated incident.
