Pros

a few kind personalities on the staff, insight into how the richest people in the country live, and a deeper understanding of how low you will go to pay your bills.

Cons

Greedy CEO and heads of company paying very low wages for very hard work. Tutors spend up to 3 hours traveling per session, to only be paid for 1 hour of hard work. Nights and weekends must be given up, and you are made to feel guilty for even considering a vacation that falls outside of a 2-week allowance during the summer. You will work with the children of the .01% in NYC. You will sometimes be treated like "the help". If you have a passion for education because you want to make the world a better place, this is not the workplace for you. There are really no good reasons to work at Tutor Associates besides it being a job to pay your bills until you find something better. No health insurance, no metrocard, no benefits.

Pros

A supportive environment for professional development and growth as an educator (in-house resources for onboarding/training, opportunities for more paid training for taking on new subjects to tutor, advising from senior Tutors and opportunities to advise to newer Tutors); Sustainable and flexible hours allow for personal time, especially good for people pursuing careers in the arts (great hourly rate with opportunities for promotion, ability to develop good relationships with students-and-parents and communicate about scheduling with them directly, mix of in-person and remote work hours); Great people (high frequency of wonderful students, Tutors and non-Tutor staff are lovely people to have as coworkers and colleagues, non-Tutor Program Directors provide support for communicating with parents, many employees balance their Tutor Associates work with other pursuits in education, sciences, arts).

Cons

The seasonal nature of tutoring work can sometimes result in long stretches where one's weekly workload can feel either overwhelming or bone-dry. Depending on a Tutor's own initiative for requesting new students and building relationships with Program Directors, frequency of new students/new weekly work hours can sometimes feel uneven.
