Pros

Its flexible. Its not very hard work. Its not labor-intensive. Students won't usually give you a hard time. Its after school. Very low pay (at least at my center).

Cons

There are very few hours. There is no room for advancement. Its boring, repetitive work that you have to do quickly. Its not that hard to own a Kumon so the manager at my center didn't know what she was doing, and all of her employees are constantly asked to accept responsibility for this.

Pros

Contributing to an educational environment, work didn't require any prior experience.

Cons

Management consistently took in more kids than the employees had capacity for, which lead to a lot of crunch for what should have been a straightforward task. The amount of work we were required to do did not scale with the $8 an hour I was receiving.
