Pros

- Cute and small Location, snacks in front - Wonderful kids and employees to work with - Fast pace, fun, and challenging exercises for both trainers and trainees

Cons

- They do not pay you for the rushed training (many hours online watching videos is not even mentioned to be paid for) until they know for sure you are going to get through - Staying after work or planning before sessions is not paid for either (and you need to do that if you want good documentation and a good session) - Sometimes bad communication/followup from administration (sporadic hours and scheduling, and we're told at the last minute when we get there sometimes) - For how fast pace and yet aggressive administration is (sometimes, my questions were not even answered. I could tell they just wanted someone to work), I wonder if they realize the trainers are the ones that basically represent the model. When you rush students and bang on the table to get them to go faster as an example, I wonder how much you are actually helping students. Other employees do it better. Yet administration thinks they are the example.

Pros

You actively see the changes that you are helping to make in people's lives. You form a great connection with clients and become a foundation for their improvement. The job is very rewarding, and if you can manage to get enough clients in your schedule, the pay is decent as well.

Cons

I'm a student and the hours were sporadic. At the time that I was still a trainer, each client would average 4.5/week with you. At most, I only ever had 3 clients at one time, and I had to depend on them to not cancel so that I would get paid for those hours. There were times when the scheduling left an hour or two between clients, but I was too far from home to make good use of the time, so I would sit in an unused roomed and try to work from my phone or laptop. You also don't get paid for the amount of paperwork that you need to fill out each session. You get paid for 15 minutes per session, but oftentimes it could take closer to 45 minutes to do paperwork after or before a session. It was also common for trainers to get word that they had a new client with less than a day's notice. If your schedule is not up to date at all times, you run the risk of getting a client placed in any time slot that is not already accounted for after 6am. No room for advancement.

Pros

Great work atmosphere - all trainers and supervisors really work together to make the center great. Trainers are encouraged to seek extra help and are quickly given all the information they need to help their students excel. Supervisors are openly available and willing to help you in every area. Our center's employees has a strong sense of camaraderie. Families/clients are amazing. Almost all parents who sign their children up for programs have complete faith in LearningRx. They want their kids to succeed and get involved where they can. You get to work one-on-one with students, getting to know them and building a solid rapport for up to six months or more. You really get a sense that you are making a significant difference in someone's life, and that's fantastic. I've had several students in the 3+ years I've been there, and it's amazing watching them grow and transform into mature, capable, smart individuals. Scheduling is extremely flexible and taking time off is no hassle. Trainers receive continuous training throughout their employment.

Cons

Not many opportunities for advancement/promotion. Promotion opportunities that do open up don't always seem to go to the most suitable employees. Hours can be unstable - you are paid for the sessions you complete with students. Also, if there is a shortage of students signing up, getting hours can be difficult. No benefits. Full time employees are eligible for benefits, but there aren't many of those. Cognitive skills trainers are part time. Turnover rate can be high. Getting new trainers in can be difficult.
