Pros
- Opportunity to travel all over Germany - Staff events for socializing - Professional development workshops - Constant increase of pay after a certain number of projects - Train and bus transport to and from work projects is paid and sorted out by the company - You meet new people all the time, both kids and colleagues - You grow as a teacher as you teach a wide variety of topics
Cons
- Most of the time you travel the day before a project and get back home late at the end of the project, so there isn't much time to rest if you have another project the next week. - Many teachers need a second job to make sure they can earn enough each month - Since you are a freelancer, you don't get pension or health insurance contribution from the employer - If you accept a project and later have to cancel, you might have to pay 300 Euro in penalties if they do not deem the reason as good enough. - The pay is not enough - Comapny is somewhat inconsistent - You are expected to take feedback from your students after every single project - You don't know how many projects you might get, so you never really know much money your take-home salary will be.
