Pros

These are probably center specific... -Good pay -Good Performance Recognition -Friendly Atmosphere

Cons

-Immense Stress (again, center specific) -No opportunities for advancement. Everything based on age rather than skill. -Favoritism -Two extremes: people hired based solely on appearance, and people based solely on skill. This job requires you to be smart, have common sense AND be personable. One of those (except maybe common sense, which can at least get you out of a fix) just won't cut it.

Pros

You actually get to help people and parents appreciate feedback they get on their children. Working with young students is fun and a great way to learn how to work with different types of people.

Cons

My manager was often late to work and easily became overwhelmed by requests from parents.
