Cons

- At the time, paid under minimum wage where I worked (Sunridge in Calgary; $6.50 when min was $7) - They staffed exclusively high achieving high-schoolers and uni-kids that deserved much better - Other locations / companies or independents would pay much better for tutoring

Pros

If you're invested in education, it's a great program to work in whether an early or seasoned professional.

Cons

Each center is different and work culture largely depends on the Center Instructor. Although the goals across centers is the same, you won't have a great time if you don't "click" with the Instructor.
