Pros

You can just sit there the whole time, no physical exertion, relatively easy

Cons

- Super boring and mind-numbing; kids can be hard to work with - At the location I worked at, there was no landline so I had to use my personal phone to contact parents to pick their kids up which was intrusive and annoying when parents texted or called me even after work hours - Low hours available - Minimum wage - you're better off working in food so that you get tips at least

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.
