Pros

Fun to teach kids, but that was about it

Cons

1 year "contract" where they pay you $25/hr and nothing if kids don't show up. You are hired as a "contractor", but can't choose your hours (and are basically stuck with the same hours that you started with), unless you rearrange every single one of your 30 students to a different time slot where they are free (which is basically more inconvenient, and you can end up working only 30 mins, but have to be waiting and available for an hour/2 hours etc). Also, management threatens you with legal action if you try to quit, saying that you signed a "legally enforceable contract". Note, if that happens, they won't actually take you to court & are just preying after the fact that you are a recently graduated high school student/university student.

Pros

Making new friends and a casual culture.

Cons

There is constant change with no set direction. Working in the call center you are micromanaged. Every fifteen minutes an email goes out telling you to make more and more outbound calls. A lot of people want out and are looking to leave. The company does not care about seniority, level of education, or your career goals. There is no way you can move up the company ladder. I've seen people get let go who've been there for years, while their new coworkers whom they trained are allowed to stay. They only care about the owner's bottom line. Monthly sales commission checks have decreased by over 75% during the last two years. I've seen the sales reps commission checks go from $750-$1,750 per month to $20-$500. The sales process is now more lengthier than ever. The owner of the company who ultimately makes all of the decisions remains in Florida most of the year.
