Pros

Despite being during peak pandemic times, I feel the company did well to keep things in line when everything was remote

Cons

My experience really is only comparable for pandemic situations, but I feel I never interacted with anyone who wasn't my direct supervisor or coworkers.

Paid below the minimum wage for many responsibilities

Math fellow

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You can work remotely, some days are laid back and don't require a lot, you have some freedom to be creative The kids are great Your coworkers are typically awesome people You get a stipend for internet access(Which is $20)

Cons

The pay is terrible and not even close to being accurately represented on glassdoor. I make less than minimum wage. High turnover means your caseload will often fluctuate. You are often the messenger of bad news to parents and have little you can actually do. You are constantly expected to do MORE. You aren't really a tutor as much as you are a teacher. Teaching concepts from square one, constant communication with parents, parent teacher conferences , etc. If you chose to work in person I feel sorry for you. You get a bus pass. If you choose to take your car then you are spending out of pocket and even further below minimum wage. The data you gather is typically inaccurate and unreasonable to use for determining student proficiency. The computers they provide you with are not great, many people rely on their own personal computers. They send 'care packages' with confetti and glitter in it which almost feels spiteful.
