Pros
Flexible hours, working with kids.
Cons
Inconsistent hours (I worked 3 hours one week), zero training in child behavioral issues. They say, oh you have to just keep going! You have to push them and make the session intense! Okay Susan, (not really an employers name) then tell me what to do when they start crying because they don’t want to be here and do these activities? , micromanaging, having to pay back your bonus if you quit before your student finishes their program (which is about a year). Parents expect these brain trainers to have college degrees and extensive training in this area but what they don’t know is that their child’s trainer is really a 20 year old with zero life experience and still in college. Some centers advertise $16-20 pay. At the one I was at, we had to take a test to get a raise. I took my test, I’ve been there a year, I “didn’t pass my test” so I’m still getting paid $16 while the teenagers over at the restaurant across the street makes $20
