Pros

You get to choose your own schedule

Cons

After your 8 hour training day (which is unpaid), there is zero face to face contact with anyone from the company. All communication is done through phone calls and e-mails (which means leaving voicemails and not getting answered back). $80 is deducted from your fist paycheck for fingerprints and a background check. You get paid by turning in a ton of paperwork. If theres anything wrong with it they send it back and don't pay you. If you quit before completing hours with a student you have to pay for the remaining hours. Refusal to do so results in them suing you. It was months before I saw my first paycheck and by that time I was over it. You do not get paid for prep time or paper work. I was better off working at an after-school program that paid half as much as these guys.

Pros

My contact person was very good at what at he did. Every time I called him with questions he would answer without complaining and always with a positive attitude. Although we were in contact by phone and email, he never left me with unanswered questions

Cons

Bonding with students, I developed good relationships with my students and miss them.

Pros

The kids are really sweet, and they actually want to learn. Some of them have quite a lot to catch up on, so if you can be really patient and encouraging, it seems to help with their confidence as well.

Cons

I worked down in the San Diego County area, and I found communicating with the main company in L.A. impossible. It's all done over the phone or email, since they don't have leaders actually stationed down here, so actually talking to a human being was a rare experience. I sent many unanswered emails and left many unanswered messages. There's also a fee if you quit, where YOU have to pay the COMPANY for any hours you didn't complete. Which would be fine if it didn't feel like they were actually trying to get you to quit, by being so unhelpful. That said, it might be a completely different and better experience if you're working for them up in L.A. where you're have contact with the company face-to-face. It definitely didn't work for me from down here, though. Lastly, if you're working for them down in the San Diego area, you really should know how to speak Spanish. They don't require it, but since I speak very little Spanish, it was difficult to communicate with the clients and kids as well.
