Pros

I have been at two different campuses with two VERY different experiences. At my location, the supervisors are supposed to support you but they really just do their best to keep the contract.

Cons

You have two different bosses to answer to, which sometimes creates conflict.

Pros

I love working on the school campus! Working with kids is my passion so I enjoy working with and empowering them! You get all of your CEU's for free.

Cons

Pay is very low! 27,500 in Ft. Worth, Texas with a bachelors degree and only about 30,000 with a Master's Degree! More time is spent on paperwork than anything else! Supervisors only care if you meet your numbers(students enrolled). Little to no support in implementing a campus plan or a plan for groups.
