Pros

When it first started out, much more involved with the students, helping kids with their math and really forming bonds with them.

Cons

Company shifted focus to squeeze more kids in throughout the day to maximize profits, but this lead to all of the employees being required to work on grading 100% of the time and only 1 person (the manager) got to go around helping kids. Made it an incredibly boring job. Pay was $9.00 an hour, the only raise I ever got was to $9.25. No benefits, no HR, you just report straight to your one boss and if they are terrible you're out of luck.

Pros

Contributing to an educational environment, work didn't require any prior experience.

Cons

Management consistently took in more kids than the employees had capacity for, which lead to a lot of crunch for what should have been a straightforward task. The amount of work we were required to do did not scale with the $8 an hour I was receiving.
