Pros

The kids made it worth it, I was too young to be a teacher and the learning method allowed me to have experience.

Cons

No control over how to teach, we had to follow strict orders, and learning while having fun was looked down upon, so it was very boring. also we received physical checks so it was possible to not get paid sometimes for a week or two.

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.
