Pros

-Very rewarding -You can gain experience working with children of various ages -Hours allow for you to have time for things before work such as school if you're in college. -Depending on the location you're at, the job can be very enjoyable as long as everyone does their part and works like a team. -Opportunity to grow with the company

Cons

-You can grow with the company, but only to a certain ceiling -Pay could be a bit better -If there is not a lot of children at your site then your hours will likely get cut. -Youthful staff so you have to make sure that they pull their own weight and not just stay on their phone while you do the work -If you're not good with kids, have positive role model attributes, or are unable to discipline children in the correct manner, than this job is not for you.

Pros

Good experience with kids, especially if it's the kind of career field you plan on pursuing.

Cons

Turnover rate is so high. This is my second school year working at the same school. Started off with about 10 other counselors the first year. Since then, everyone quit (including the site director) except for one or two others. Pay rate is rather low. $8.50 an hour on school days only. If we are the ones that have to go through dealing with the kids everyday, then we deserve a little more pay at least, since we get nothing else from the company. It's one of the major reasons why everyone always wants to quit after a few months. Also realized how much fun it ISN'T when you have to go to work everyday to basically yell the whole time you're there. Can be a stressful job at times. And finally, the overall workplace environment. I see many things when i come in to work everyday that I know go against policy. It's as if none of the workers want to be there at all, and that can sometimes rub onto me. I always wonder why i still work for this company
