Inexpensive to start

Pros

Some thorough training (although always in London).

Cons

Incredibly time-consuming processes and too little autonomy. Expectations very high for students with regards to homework - makes it difficult for the majority of students to continue for any length of time.

Homework Marking Sweatshop

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- A glimpse into a life working in a sweatshop.

Cons

- Basically a homework marking sweatshop for high school students. - You have to mark homework for 3 hrs non-stop. (Because employers are only legally obligated to give a break every 4 hrs...) - Minimum wage and neck pains, of course. - Would not let you do anything other than marking (ex. tutoring)
