Business Outlook

Pros

-Low effort, any experience in game or software development means you breeze through - The job is effectively debugging code for kids and helping them along - Great for college/Uni students or fresh grads that are job hunting and need something that would not interfere with that

Cons

- Hours vary; you're only guaranteed about 2 or so shifts a week - Low pay, slightly over minimum wage - Curriculum is strictly required to be maintained; it does not necessarily allow for much flexibility, even if you know better practices - You don't necessarily learn anything new if you are expecting to gain any technical knowledge from this experience
