Terrible management

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Available to pick your own schedule.

Cons

HR Management is completely terrible and degrades their own employees whenever they feel something is off. HR management does not care about their employees and would rather listen to the schools instead of their employees as well. They have too high expectations when the training is subpar and lacks real use in the classroom environment.

Pros

The flexibility of the schedule and set hours depending on the assignment. Some of the classes have great students and teachers.

Cons

The pay and benefits aren’t great, not something that’s feasible for long term career growth. Sometimes you are assigned to certain tasks you may not have the training for.

Pros

Pick your own schedule and choose the schools you're willing to work at. Only required to work a minimum of 4 days a month. Paid weekly.

Cons

Pay needs to be better. Some jobs take more out of you than others and you should be compensated accordingly. No real training. Once hired, you basically figure everything out on your own.
