Pros
The platform for finding jobs is easy to use.
Cons
The people that work the hardest at Varsity, bringing in a majority of the company's money, get paid poorly and are not well taken care of. Varsity charges $55-$85/hour for my services from what I can tell ( I've had to do detective work since they won't tell me), yet only pay me $15-20/hour. I'm highly qualified (master's degree, teaching license, years of experience, advanced training, etc.), which that have no qualms advertising, but they don't treat me that way. For an average hour lesson, I put in about 2-2.5 hours of work (I have to lesson plan, commute, teach, then log everything). Take my $20 hourly pay, divide that by the hours I actually work, and I'm barely making minimum wage for most lessons I teach. I was promised a raise at 6-months because of my experience--that was two months ago and I've yet to see it. When I try to contact someone, I'm sent to a generic voice mailbox (I don't even have a phone number for my direct supervisor). All the people on to of my that benefit from my hard work do nothing to help me--I never get my calls returned, when I have a request, it usually takes weeks to resolve, etc. Plus their contracts that they make to sign essentially make it where you can't use any of the connections you've made for two years (for instance, if a client of Varsity's likes me and recommends me to a friend, that friend HAS to hire me through Varsity). Overall, Varsity profits off the hard work of people that they take terrible care of.
