Pros

It's "off-the-books", you get the satisfaction of helping children, and it was a short commute for me.

Cons

It was really boring and repetitive. There was a lack of structure, no benefits, and low pay. The students sometimes do not respect you as well. Also, there are a lot of rules and restrictions for employees, which comes from bad management skills.

Pros

If you're invested in education, it's a great program to work in whether an early or seasoned professional.

Cons

Each center is different and work culture largely depends on the Center Instructor. Although the goals across centers is the same, you won't have a great time if you don't "click" with the Instructor.
