Pros

-Flexible part-time scheduling -Full-time available, did not need another job to support myself -Salaried position available with advancement -Great work environment if you like children -Get to sleep in everyday because its afternoon work -Good co-workers -Learned a lot about managing a business, managing an office, managing customers, and supporting education for the students. -Pays better than most other part-time or full time entry level positions. Pays better than most other Mathnasiums also. -Decent job to start from out of college or if your are retired. -Work with many different online databases and software. I worked there for 3 years. It was my first job out of college. You need a college degree to work at this Mathnasium. While in college I worked at a bank. I constantly was hassled by customers who lost money and what-not. Very depressing work with no support. This job not only paid the same as my banking position, but was way more fun and interesting. Few dull moments with kids involved. I taught all grade levels from 1st grade to Calculus. I eventually became the Assistant Director. This gave me an opportunity to handle many of the business related aspects of the job. Definitely a resume booster.

Cons

-Must work a weekend day to be full time -Must work six days a week to be full time (its after school hours work, so maximum is a seven hour workday) -No benefits (go get Obama-Care)

Rewarding Experience, but Not Sustainable as Only Job

Pros

Mathnasium was one of the most rewarding positions I've had. I loved working with the students and witnessing their improvement. Prior to teaching at Mathnasium, I worked in an office and-- although the math is simple-- it's great to have a position in which you can actually use your brain and math skills. Fellow employees, the center director, and the owner were all wonderful. There were only one or two issues with parents, but that's expected in any work environment.

Cons

The pay was really low; I wouldn't have been able to get by on my Mathnasium wage alone. The hours revolve around school hours, so the business is only open a few hours each day, which doesn't provide a sufficient opportunity to work longer to compensate for the low wage.
