Pros
This learning center offers a proven method of instruction for children with learning disabilities and it is very rewarding to watch them quickly acquire new skills, knowledge, and confidence. The initial and ongoing training is very rigorous and generally prepares staff well for the work. Staff members are intensively screened and generally very well-suited to the job, which makes for good teamwork. Benefits are good. The environment is inclusive of a spectrum of genders and orientations.
Cons
Scheduling can be erratic and confusing for both staff and students, although that has improved at my location over time. The job requires endless patience and creativity combined with strong time management skills and behavioral management skills. The initial pay probably doesn't reflect the demanding nature of the job. that being said, raises and advancements are possible. The staff at my location is not very ethnically diverse, but many locations are quite diverse, so this probably has little to do with company-wide policies or tendencies.
