Pros
- I enjoyed working with the kids, you can see their improvement over the course of a few weeks so it's rewarding - Every day (and every hour) is different, so it keeps things interesting - Coworkers were friendly - Work is extremely seasonal, so it was the perfect summer / winter break job when I was in college
Cons
- Company charges more than $110/hour to the families but only pays $17/hour - They refused to give me a raise even after working there for 4 summers - Lots of employee turnover because they don't pay enough for how hard everyone works - Very strict about how to teach according to their established curriculum - no innovation - Very strict about schedule - everything is down to the minute, not flexible about sick days or time off - A lot of pressure to produce results (improve kids' scores) because parents are paying $$$$
