Pros

you set your own schedule for the quarter and management assigns you classes that stay set for the quarter--gives a nice balance of flexibility and guaranteed hours. Friendly staff and welcoming environment. Very positive company culture. Bonus pay offered for subs and weekend shifts.

Cons

The training program is being updated so it's a bit touch and go at some points, but will be nice when it's done. New teachers sub for other instructors after they've passed their training until the next quarter starts, so hours can get a little shaky in the middle there, but you do get a pay increase for sub hours, so they try to make it easier on new employees.

Pros

Gives you space to really develop yourself skills if this is something you want to do.

Cons

It has become corporate and money driven. The bottom line is becoming more important than families. Things feel chaotic and corporate doesn’t communicate well. Management is constantly over worked and underplayed. There is no way to accomplish all of the new mandates corporate has implemented in the last few years
