Pros

Beautifully remodeled campus, and shared space.

Cons

-A company that takes advantage of freshly graduated innocent people & families by selling false promises. -Uses scholarship students as tokens. -You can work 60+ hours, but CEO will never notice your hard work, because he is hardly ever there. -Repetitive work with no ending. -Unorganized.

Pros

The other tutors are amazing people. As the company quickly deteriorates, the sense of camaraderie between tutors grows. A few of the students are on scholarship or receive pro bono tutoring, but the company works with fewer and fewer of these students.

Cons

Management has no transparency with their employees. Hours are erratic. Employees with seniority are pushed out to hire cheaper tutors. CEO makes lots of empty promises about future stock options, paying for masters degrees, promotions, bonuses, salary increases, and the growth rate of the company. Training is inconsistent from tutor to tutor. Employees have a sense of panic about if the company can make rent or pay their employees.

Pros

Tight-knit culture, things are constantly changing, and everyone wears many hats. It's a few years old now, though, so you get the benefit of working for a small company but without the worry of job insecurity like you would at a start-up. Management hears employee concerns and does their best to address them immediately. Management values awesome employees and does whatever they can to keep them. Other pros: everyone really buys into the mission of the company, and everyone is socially-minded. VP donates a lot of time and resources into educational equity (i.e. pays tutors to work with full-scholarship kids). Students usually make major improvements in scores, which is very rewarding. As someone who has worked at other prestigious test prep co's, I know this is hard to come by. Clients all live on the westside, so driving isn't hell like it would be with other companies who send you all across different parts of LA

Cons

Since it's growing so fast, it can be hard to keep up with increasing # of clients coming through the door. Management is really supportive about this though. Clients can be demanding since they are often paying a lot, but since we produce results for their kids so quickly, they usually calm down
