Pros

The Princeton Review really allows good opportunity for advancement within the company. If you have a willingness to get your hands dirty and take a roll up your sleeves approach to work operations under pressure, you eventually will be rewarded. You have the opportunity to take on an significant amount of ownership on they way you work, as long as your performance achieves set goals.

Cons

The dynamics in responsibilities and expectations can be overwellming. The work environment is very fast paced, high in employee turn-over, and rapidly changing in operation procedures and communications which can be very frustrating.

Pros

Helping kids. Casual environment. Smart people abound. Innovation rewarded. Camaraderie of immediate coworkers. Local autonomy. Pay is better than competitors. Benefits are good and improving. Industry leader (it's good to be part of the best).

Cons

Satisfying unsatisfiable customers. Spotty communication between the field and management. Occasional night and weekend work. Peak times are stressful. Tech resources make job harder, not easier. The phones don't stop ringing.

Pros

Lots of independence, opportunities for training, very good salary. They pay for you to take exams and you can get trained on a variety of exams which they will encourage you to do. You become very good in your presentation skills and build confidence in public speaking.

Cons

Very hard to move up in the organization. The work is only part time in nature, I do not see how you could be an instructor on a full time basis and would need to eventually move up into management to stay with the company, which was not a career path open to me.
