Pros

It's rewarding to implement programs that really do work and to see such improvement in students. It's great one-on-one teaching experience with all types and ages of students.

Cons

This company claims its main goal is helping students achieve "the magic of learning," but the longer I work here, the more clear it is becoming: the main goal is profit. Every company-wide meeting in the past year has consisted mostly with statistics about profit. What happened to statistics about students and their improvements? For a research-based educational program, you'd think we'd hear about student results rather than financial results. There is an extreme amount of pressure on the center management to generate profit - they celebrate number of students signed up rather than number of students that made instructional gains. When I think about how much the company pays employees vs. charges clients ($13.00 vs. $109.00) it makes me sick to my stomach. Employees are expected to put so much into this job for very little genuine recognition (financial or otherwise). The company culture is good in theory, but can come off as extremely robotic and phony. The "Disney model" is extremely corny given the fact that this is a research-based program that is extremely legitimate in terms of educational quality, and certain aspects of it are extremely condescending. Many of the company policies are a little absurd, namely the vacation policy. The fact that employees are not "allowed" to take vacation time between June and August, not to mention the fact that the centers are open on July 4th is quite unfair. I am also constantly working through my breaks to juggle the student-load and get everything done, because overtime is absolutely not allowed.

Pros

the only pro? The illusion that you are helping a poor, disenfranchised child.

Cons

I had the displeasure of working here, and let me tell you, it was unsatisfactory. I feel badly for all of the parents who are ostensibly lured into paying an arm and a leg for some Walt Disney style hocus-pocus stuff. The most disturbing aspect? The woman who trained us was making fun of "retarded" students in the break room to one of the clinicians. I was shocked that people who worked for this company would say such things, let alone in the break room. I usually do not pay much attention to snide comments, but I felt these discriminatory remarks were in poor taste within the context of the company itself -- not to mention the area in which they were made. While we cannot control others, I refuse to work in an environment like this. In addition, the company is for profit, which is not necessarily a bad thing. However, if you think you might want to work with a diverse population, forget it. Clinicians are paid about ten percent of what the parents pay...a shame really, because the clinicians do just as much work as the other employees, and sometimes more.

Pros

Loved the kids and the programs. Watching the kids improve and become more confident with their academics was very rewarding.

Cons

Very clique-y atmosphere where appearance and charisma appeared to matter more than dedication and hard work. Very low pay for the amount of work you have to do. A typical day could consist of 8 tutoring hours with an hour lunch in the middle. Having back to back students was very difficult and made it worse that you had to do tasks such as Magical Learning Moment drawings on your 10 minute break.
