Amazing experience helping students

Pros

While working for InGenius Prep, I get to help students achieve their academic potential and dreams of higher education. InGenius Prep's tools and curriculum, combined with my academic experience, enables me to work with students to pursue college dreams and advanced degrees. Since it's a web-based company, I can interact with my team and the students we work with from wherever, whenever.

Cons

I have to write a lot of blog posts, which I don't always enjoy doing.

Good support network but terrible pay

Business Outlook

Pros

Good network of people and sources of information to help students in their applications to college

Cons

Horrible compensation. They'll tell you ahead of time that you'll make about $25-30/hr, but once you accounts for all the small tasks (checking email daily, responding to emails, double checking AI outputs), you'll end up making more like $10-12/hr. Apparently this has been going on for years, I'm seeing past reviews on here about this from 2020, so this company doesn't seem to care about their employees, making them sign a contract with 6 weeks notice to quit to basically trap them for a few months at an abysmal pay rate. They also seems to keep doing waves of hiring (I was brought in through a recruiter), so the pay is likely causing this frequent turnover, which is horrible for the students they're supposed to be supporting.
