Pros

Good network of people and sources of information to help students in their applications to college

Cons

Horrible compensation. They'll tell you ahead of time that you'll make about $25-30/hr, but once you accounts for all the small tasks (checking email daily, responding to emails, double checking AI outputs), you'll end up making more like $10-12/hr. Apparently this has been going on for years, I'm seeing past reviews on here about this from 2020, so this company doesn't seem to care about their employees, making them sign a contract with 6 weeks notice to quit to basically trap them for a few months at an abysmal pay rate. They also seems to keep doing waves of hiring (I was brought in through a recruiter), so the pay is likely causing this frequent turnover, which is horrible for the students they're supposed to be supporting.

Pros

Flexible schedule for most part. Coworkers are all very nice and everyone there respects work- life boundaries. Supportive and collaborative coworkers as well.

Cons

Hours can be difficult at times. Working with lots of people in Asia- that’s the job though.

Pros

- they get you good clients - good curriculum/structure - colleagues are great - good flexibility and work/life balance when you're FT, especially if you are communicative - added perks/opportunities the longer you stay with them (if you are learning their model well) - great pay - if your student gets in Early Decision

Cons

- pay is actually quite low for the service that's requested/the amount of work you actually put in/GC experience level/GC expected education background. I tolerate it because I don't have to worry about marketing and getting my own clients. My personal hourly rate is about 3-5x as high. This is not in reference to what the milestones are - this is referring to the actual work hours (emailing, messaging, scheduling, meeting, editing, editing, editing, editing, reviewing). There must be a lot of overhead or something? Or maybe they pay the FAOs much more? - I think the above makes it hard to be motivated and provide the best service. Especially for really needy students. I would honestly love to work more with IGP - I love the structure they provide - but I cannot afford to get paid so much less than when I tutor or seek out my own students
