Pros

- Looks good on resume for college kids - ...

Cons

- At the time, paid under minimum wage where I worked (Sunridge in Calgary; $6.50 when min was $7) - They staffed exclusively high achieving high-schoolers and uni-kids that deserved much better - Other locations / companies or independents would pay much better for tutoring

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.
