Bad management

Pros

Job isn't stressful. That is pretty much the only thing good about the job. Other than that, everything else is pretty bad.

Cons

Management doesn't give hours fairly. Upon being hired and signing into the "welcome to c2" conference call I was told to sign off and immediately tutor because I was told that "No one really cares about that stuff anyway." by the owner which should have set the tone for the rest of my time of employment. I was hired to work 20 hours a week and the hours just dwindled and dwindled. After showing initiative and competency to tutor as many subjects as possible and coming in at the drop of a hat for the boss it didn't do any good. I just got the same excuse "Sorry, we're slow. I'll let you know when it picks back up again." and you're supposed to just take the loss which they didn't tell me upon hiring me. When it's busy you can have up to 4 students/tutor which then just turns it into an overpriced daycare. In my year working there I saw quite a few employees come and go. It's very clear that it's just an investment the owner is trying to squeeze money out of.

First, I'd like to thank you for your contribution to C2 and all that you do for our students. I am always inspired by our tutors' great passion for learning, devotion to the student, and vision that every student is different but can break past their limits with proper guidance and support. Please know that we aim to build schedules as consistently as possible for all of our teachers since that is to the direct benefit of our students. Teachers who have more C2 teaching experience, along with those teachers who can cover more subjects, will receive more hours and more consistent schedules because they are able to support more of our students at any given time.

Poor scheduling, few hours

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is slightly above market rate

Cons

When I was hired I was told I would be working 32-40 hours per week. But even after 2 months of working at a center, my hours would fluctuate between 4-12 hours per week. The center director keeps promising me more hours, but each week I receive barely any. The center director has given me no indication that this is a result of my performance and she seems eager to "keep me on the team." It's absurd that they expect me to set aside 7 days per week and then only call me in for 1 or 2 days. This means I can't, say, make plans for the weekend because they won't let me know more than 2 days in advance if I have that time off or not. If I tell them I can't work on a certain day less than a week in advance, the CD gets irritated. But am I not entitled to the same irritation when they tell me 1 day in advance that I will/won't be needing to work. (This is why I gave work/life balance 1 star; they own all your time, 3pm-10pm, whether you end up working or not.)

It is really important that you feel fairly compensated for the good work you do at C2 - thank you for your contribution to the business. The scheduling process is designed to accomodate the needs of our students and families and should not affect your personal life in such a negative way. We are rolling out a new scheduling system soon, so that should really help. But it also sounds like there is poor communication coming from your Center Director and I encourage you to escalate this issue to your regional leadership team so they can help. Teachers who have more C2 teaching experience, along with those teachers who can cover more subjects, will receive more hours and more consistent schedules because they are able to support more of our students at any given time. Even such, my expectation is that we are building schedules as consistently as possible for all of our teachers since that is to the direct benefit of our students.

Pros

most of the kids want to study, the management will mostly let you tutor the way you want (usually effectively)

Cons

low pay, management doesn't really communicate well, high turnover, especially for tutors.
