Pros

The Princeton Review is a reputable company which many of us has heard of . Excellent programs, proven track record....blah blah blah. Great job if you're a student, flexible hours, constantly changing atmosphere.

Cons

PAYCHECKS ARE NEVER CORRECT!!!!! Incompetent people seem to be in charge of the princeton review, all blue collared people are kept at a part time rate so you never get benefits of any kind! Any overtime worked is paid out at 33.33% less than regular hours. There is no way to contact upper management , payroll etc. You have 1 point of contact, ur school's site mgr. You're pretty much out of a job from june- october with no pay. WHAT THE HECK!

Pros

Flexible work schedule Great opportunities other than core teaching work to make money through essay grading, etc. Fun training Managers do great job of making a community around teachers through parties, etc. Overall great opportunity to make decent wages for college or graduate students

Cons

Somewhat misleading pay because the amount of time it takes to prepare to teach courses is uncompensated

Pros

Scheduling classes as you please, and only taking work when you want to. Those are definitely the biggest perks of teaching for TPR. They'll compensate you for just about anything you do for them- teaching, proctoring, helping with marketing, even emailing students and gas for far away class sites.

Cons

Some pressure to take on more work than you might want to- although I haven't had trouble getting classes I want to teach despite turning down a lot of extra marketing work. Often you aren't officially 'on' a course until a week or two before it starts. Dealing with teenagers is often a pain.
