Pros

- Meet other college students. - Forces you to review concepts that you will teach your students. - The center is in a good location. - The parents and the kids are usually nice.

Cons

- HIGH turnover rate. - Little to no training or guidance provided. - Hours are NOT guaranteed. - Expected to do work outside of working hours. - Customers' time are prioritized at the cost of your hours or your pay. - You have to create your own lesson plans and material (unpaid). - Discouraged from making friends with the other coaches. - You are paid at the same rate regardless of how many students are in a session / class / camp. - May be asked to teach at the center and elementary schools in other areas. Those that did this were not compensated for the drive. - May be given students working on material you are not familiar with. Specific about the GM/Owner: - Will watch you from the cameras. - Has persistently tried to get staff to come in despite them recently testing positive for COVID and providing their results. - Has expressed doubt that some staff were being truthful when claiming that they were feeling unwell (for COVID or other illnesses). - Will become distracted, unresponsive, and absent for weeks at a time. - Talks poorly about the coaches to other coaches/staff and in front of students. - May ask you to come over to her house and tutor her children in different subjects. - Said we should be happy that we are not working at "dirty" part-time jobs like fast food during MULTIPLE staff meetings. - Has called staff "toxic" and "unprofessional" when she was told that our pay was no longer competitive in the area (a majority of coaches were still being paid at $15). - Has no background in tech beyond recruiting. (e.g. Was upset because she thought coaches who knew how to teach python should already know how to use pygame). - Beware that she is also opening a TCS in Redondo Beach. Warning to "interns": You do almost the same exact work as the other coaches but are unpaid.
