Pros

It's very easy to get a sense of community among other teacher assistants because you're surrounded by them all the time. The grading work while not always easy, is not incredibly taxing to do.

Cons

Though not much training is required, there wasn't much provided when I worked there, so having to deal with difficult children was something that you just had to learn how to deal with on the spot without having much background info.

Pros

Fun to work with students, and I actually personally felt like I genuinely enjoyed working with my coworkers as well.

Cons

Sometimes you do have to pick up for other people's slack, whether it's because they 've been talking too much to finish their own work or otherwise.

Pros

Friendly office staff & nice teachers. The owner likes to set aside some food and snacks for TAs and teachers when we get hungry. The responsibilities are fair: grading homework, tutoring children, cleaning the room at the end of the day.

Cons

The work load is generally easy, but grading responsibilities are not always equal. You will have the TAs with writing classes that are not responsible for any grading, while one math teacher's TA will be assigned doubled-amounts of homework for him/her to grade daily. But, you will always have your coworkers to help you out if you ever get overwhelmed. Also, the TAs that work most closely with you (upstairs vs. downstairs) as well as the manager for each floor can make or break your experience here. Your peers are mostly high school or college students who are not that experienced with working in a professional environment and sometimes let their attitudes influence their work behavior. Sometimes you will get along with these types of people and sometimes you will not.
