Pros
There were a select few staff who seemed to actually care. The ability to make your own schedule is enticing. You can get free snacks and drinks in the offices. If you like teaching, you may enjoy this work.
Cons
Where to start? You will not get enough hours to live on, and you will not be compensated fairly for the work you do. This is not a sustainable job for living on. Don't plan on using this job to pay your rent. There is a ton of work required outside of your tutoring sessions that will take up more time than you are working in session. Clients can cancel or reschedule randomly, which means that you will not be paid. Even with the grace cancellation policy, one of these can heavily impact your pay for the week. The work itself is very labor intensive and draining, and you will not be paid fairly for how exhausted you feel after a day's work. Management will pressure you to take more clients than is possible to handle, and doesn't care about work life balance or morale. They insist on unrealistic goals and commutes. You will spend every day in Houston rush hour traffic traveling to your sessions. This gets old really quick. They do the most to get more money and more clients, even if that means treating their employees badly and throwing them under the bus when it's convenient for them. They lure you with bonuses and incentives, but those definitely do not make up for the poor work environment and bad base pay. There is a huge consultant turnover because the job is simply not sustainable. This results in other consultants having to pick up the slack, placing more pressure on everyone. Communication within the company itself is extremely poor. Owner doesn't care about anyone other than himself and makes selfish decisions with no regards to how it affects his staff. Other management staff is just puppets for the owner, just doing what he says to make him happy and cover their own butts. This is only within the company, not to mention the stress of the population you're working with-- rich Houston families who expect you to work miracles with their kids and put your own entire life on hold until they have reached their goal score on their tests.
