Pros
Great work atmosphere - all trainers and supervisors really work together to make the center great. Trainers are encouraged to seek extra help and are quickly given all the information they need to help their students excel. Supervisors are openly available and willing to help you in every area. Our center's employees has a strong sense of camaraderie. Families/clients are amazing. Almost all parents who sign their children up for programs have complete faith in LearningRx. They want their kids to succeed and get involved where they can. You get to work one-on-one with students, getting to know them and building a solid rapport for up to six months or more. You really get a sense that you are making a significant difference in someone's life, and that's fantastic. I've had several students in the 3+ years I've been there, and it's amazing watching them grow and transform into mature, capable, smart individuals. Scheduling is extremely flexible and taking time off is no hassle. Trainers receive continuous training throughout their employment.
Cons
Not many opportunities for advancement/promotion. Promotion opportunities that do open up don't always seem to go to the most suitable employees. Hours can be unstable - you are paid for the sessions you complete with students. Also, if there is a shortage of students signing up, getting hours can be difficult. No benefits. Full time employees are eligible for benefits, but there aren't many of those. Cognitive skills trainers are part time. Turnover rate can be high. Getting new trainers in can be difficult.
