Pros

Lots of interaction with kids, relatively easy job, experience motivating very young people to reach their educational goals, sometimes cute/funny things happen at work

Cons

You are (and feel) easily replaceable, very tedious and repetitive work, questionable impact on the actual academic performance of the kids, minimum wage job with little to no upward mobility

Pros

Laid back, easy, working with smart kids, mostly self-sufficient. You're mostly grading papers which is really easy. I heard there's centers that went digital and just use computers.

Cons

Very few hours, seems like a money grab, dealing with parents. You aren't going to get many hours. The classes meet like twice a week for a few hours. Nice if you're looking for a really part-time job, but not so much if you need more money.

Pros

Really respect the system they've devised - offers a really holistic educational experience. Never received even a tiny pay raise in my 2 years working there though, which is ridiculous.

Cons

Sometimes understaffed and thus more pressure to grade and perform within unrealistic time frames.
