Pros

Incredibly Flexible Hours Great Pay for a Part Time Job Fun to Tutor most students and the Kaplan office supports the tutors very well with information and resources.

Cons

The worst part of the job is tutoring students who don't care or who have crazy parents. The parents are often so controlling they are hard to deal with, and don't care what you say if there student isn't improving. Also, some students are signed up by their parents and are completely oblivious to the tutoring.

Pros

-generally fun environment with bright, young, hard-working individuals -opportunity to interact with students and help them achieve their goals -opportunity to work from home once at higher responsibility level -varies from manager to manager, but I had good experience with coaching and training from my supervisors

Cons

-huge focus on the bottom line - meeting budget goals trumps pretty much everything else -no formal training program - it's sink or swim -frequent nights and weekends -full-time salaries are pretty weak (my own and my direct reports)
