Pros

I do love teaching, and I think I do a good job of it. The "Master Instructors" who can teach students (usually the ones who pay more) or teach regular instructors like myself vary in skill. I've had the pleasure of working with some very intelligent people, but I'm not sure that will be the consistent experience.

Cons

It seems like total anarchy in management. Pay issues are a chronic problem. So is technical support, and this is for instructors, never mind the students! HR is very poor at responding to employees' questions and concerns. Teaching plans are very poorly coordinated. Last minute emails and phone calls to schedule 2+ hour long classes seem the norm. That leaves almost no prep time for instructors. Also, I thought instructors would by better trained, but in fact two 8-hr sessions over a single weekend are deemed sufficient. I trained with several ppl with dubious credentials - watching them teach, I saw them make some basic mistakes in their chosen subject. That was concerning, especially b/c kids are paying several thousands for these classes.

Pros

The strategies and course content are great. Jealous of these students! All the materials are already provided to the instructors and you have the flexibility to bid for courses that fit your schedule. Very supportive admin team.

Cons

Wouldn't rely on this as main income as schedules/course biddings are not guaranteed. But I have never bid with full schedule availability so I can't say for sure.
