Pros

Nontraditional hours if you're not a morning person; you get to be the boss of the center when the District Manager isn't there with you (which they usually only come by once a week); flexibility in scheduling

Cons

Work late hours which is difficult when you have a family; you don't get a say in how you want to run your own center and you have to do as instructed by management/corporate level; annual salary is low if you don't hit your budget

Pros

Working with the students is the most rewarding aspect of the job. Oftentimes I think about all of the students I've been able to help, and how I've helped influence their lives. It's really touching :)

Cons

Pay: the pay is not competitive, and the fees that students pay tremendously overshadow your labor costs. Most workers at any center are paid very little, and the company relies on these overworked and underpaid employees to do most of the crucial work. There are only hypothetical breaks, and they are only reluctantly granted by the company. Tutors are asked to come in for no pay and prepare for class along with no paid time for grading after class. This leads to a problem because tutors are not paid to fulfill the obligation the company has made to students. The time it takes to properly prepare and grade is at least 30 minutes a day which adds up to quite a lot at the end of a year. Company Structure. C2 has a massive inefficient bureaucratic structure that leads to inefficiency, and a lack of clear responsibility. Complaints go unheard or fall on deaf ears. The company cares only about the profit we can generate while providing no benefits or sick days. Seeing how we work with kids who carry flu, colds, and other illnesses with them into the center, your very work schedule can become compromised from the sickness you get from this line of work. The most essential center staff are also the most underpaid even compared to tutors, which means a constant line of employees is filing through the door hoping things improve and finally leaving as soon as they have the center running smoothly. This means centers are usually in constant turmoil as there are no experienced workers left. This pointless frugality shorts not only the staff but also the clients.

You're right. When families partner with C2, they build a solid foundation of skills and study habits that will last a lifetime! Our students benefit from our comprehensive tutoring plan, including diagnostic testing, personalized programs, exceptional instruction and continuous tracking. At C2, we strive to provide fair and competitive compensation to our employees. We consistently review and make adjustments to our pay structures to support a culture of accountability and performance at all levels of the organization. We have also started sending out company-wide employee surveys, rolled out a method for sharing suggestions and ideas, and are working to include opportunities for teachers to give feedback on upcoming initiatives. To support you and the rest of our employees, we will continue finding more creative avenues to get our teachers actively involved in sharing their voice.
