Pros

Good benefits, paid time off, paid snow days, felt like a safe building, kind coworkers. Acces to the gym and pool is free for employees. Great work life balance!

Cons

The work can get boring, higher ups make decisions that don't always align with best student interest, some higher management have no idea how to work even the most basic technology, office politics-some of the upper management men are PIGS, students can be rude and clueless.

Pros

The best things to work at this company were that there was a great deal of autonomy available for experience employees. You do not have much oversight or interaction with administrative staff unless you need to.

Cons

The administrative staff sees you as a line item at best. Moves you around at will. You are always third or fourth fiddle to full time instructors. Cancel classes based on enrollment easily and do not encourage unionized labour. The administrative staff is very inflexible and does not like to partner with instructors to achieve mutually beneficial goals. They basically want you to come in, teach, and leave. Don't ask questions, don't try to change anything, don't have life issues or anything. Quality of the instructor is negligible. They care more about numbers rather than instructor quality. Also, don't cancel a day for class. They will cut your pay if you miss a day.

Pros

flexible work schedule for the most part. Some the people are happy to work there. The benefits are okay. A good amount of time off.

Cons

The money is bad. Sometimes the work schedule is flexible and sometimes I did 12 hour days. There are a lot of people who are mean and just buying time until the pension kicks in.
