Pros

Those are the taglines stuck in my head now. Apart from this- nothing much positive to say except: *meet really great colleagues/ability to form a community with others *meaningful work as always when you help students *work from home *space to practice your skills -I'm personally more about people than the impressive stats, so I humbly accept my sudden yet expected termination.-

Cons

*optimizes humans for maximum productivity with little concern for those who may have different issues that contribute to times of inconsistency *you must have other means of providing for yourself as there is a lot of unpredictability in even getting the hours you want *you are expected to be fully consistent when a lot of things with this company are highly inconsistent and things varies vastly from week to week and month to month *inconsistent hours- you will at least get one single 4 hour shift during the whole school year as a part timer *mostly a no questions asked workspace policy when it comes to random coworkers disappearing from the workspace- it's only when you speak to those individuals that you get further facts on what happens to contribute to their accounts being deactivated suddenly *not allowed to criticize the company internally or your post is removed and you end up eventually fired in most cases *not really 1:1 as deceptively advertised *individual tutors in live chat often can have 8 students in the classroom all at once (a few have mentioned even 10 at a time) *at times underscheduling leads to last minute rushes to get new tutors added to the schedule--- these are surges and there are surge bonuses per the minute that additional students are in the classroom *high turnover and very easily replaceable to the company *expects full loyalty when they aren't loyal to people who have been there since Gradeslam days *lack of immobility for most although you are told there is room for advancement *internal interviewing and dismissal process can be more humane (i used to recommend this as a place for new people to work but now i'm putting 1 star for everything. if the cons are fine with you, definitely be prepared for the hunger games)

Overall Great Experience - Common Startup Issues

Pros

Competitive salaries, good benefits, fair workloads, good learning stipend.

Cons

Like most startups, many fast-paced changes are occurring at the company. Be prepared for this going in. It's not like getting a job with a well-established tech company like Microsoft or IBM. The plus side of this is there are many "low-lying fruit" technical problems to solve or improve.
