Pros

- Really great FAOs (if you get a good one. If you're like me and have some unsupportive FAOs, you are completely on your own)

Cons

- Pay: absolutely awful. I can't recommend the pay to anyone, especially since you're responsible for a student for essentially an entire year for all their essays...and for next to no pay - Support: if you get a great FAO then you're good to go. If you get one who ducks out of responsibilities and disappears until the end, it's a terrible situation for everyone - Time consuming: I don't mind hard work, but you're literally worked to the bone. Say one student is on a 6 school package. Say each school requires 4 essays. You as the GC are responsible for at least 4-5 drafts of each essay. Add that all up and it becomes 100% not worth your time

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
