Pros

They offer plenty of flexibility, the people are super nice, and the work with the kids is gratifying.

Cons

The whole company seems like a sham to me. Sure, they get the kids in a classroom setting and if those kids are lucky to be with a teacher who isn't already stretched too thin, they can get some questions answered. But overall, it's very clear that the business comes first. There are reviews on the teachers that don't amount to anything besides letting the teachers know that they had better keep in line. I'm sure all of that comes from the corporate higher ups.

Pros

I enjoyed the work I did do. Working with the children and helping with teachers was fun and I got to socialize quite often with staff and students.

Cons

I was fired for missing one shift because my mother ended up in an accident. I did not get to explain myself for missing said shift and was told to think about my actions for 4 days before being let go. Extremely unprofessional.
