Pros

It's "off-the-books", you get the satisfaction of helping children, and it was a short commute for me.

Cons

It was really boring and repetitive. There was a lack of structure, no benefits, and low pay. The students sometimes do not respect you as well. Also, there are a lot of rules and restrictions for employees, which comes from bad management skills.

Pros

Contributing to an educational environment, work didn't require any prior experience.

Cons

Management consistently took in more kids than the employees had capacity for, which lead to a lot of crunch for what should have been a straightforward task. The amount of work we were required to do did not scale with the $8 an hour I was receiving.
