Pros

- fun, relaxed, and supportive work environment - above average pay in this industry for China - incredibly smart, dedicated, and inspiring colleagues - working with people from all over the world and have diverse set of experiences - hard work is recognized and rewarded

Cons

- Time investment: During the fall you do have to work longer hours and be more involved in students lives. This can become demanding and tiring - If work life balance is important to you, you'll have to put in extra effort to maintain a life outside of work. This work can be all consuming if you want it to be. If you don't, make sure you make time to yourself and keep that time sacred. - No insurance provided for employees

Pros

Flexible schedule for most part. Coworkers are all very nice and everyone there respects work- life boundaries. Supportive and collaborative coworkers as well.

Cons

Hours can be difficult at times. Working with lots of people in Asia- that’s the job though.

Pros

- they get you good clients - good curriculum/structure - colleagues are great - good flexibility and work/life balance when you're FT, especially if you are communicative - added perks/opportunities the longer you stay with them (if you are learning their model well) - great pay - if your student gets in Early Decision

Cons

- pay is actually quite low for the service that's requested/the amount of work you actually put in/GC experience level/GC expected education background. I tolerate it because I don't have to worry about marketing and getting my own clients. My personal hourly rate is about 3-5x as high. This is not in reference to what the milestones are - this is referring to the actual work hours (emailing, messaging, scheduling, meeting, editing, editing, editing, editing, reviewing). There must be a lot of overhead or something? Or maybe they pay the FAOs much more? - I think the above makes it hard to be motivated and provide the best service. Especially for really needy students. I would honestly love to work more with IGP - I love the structure they provide - but I cannot afford to get paid so much less than when I tutor or seek out my own students
