Pros
You get to meet amazing people who become lifelong friends, learn new things and have experiences.
Cons
- The management staff (including the founder/CEO) is incredibly young, naive, and inexperienced. They don't manage, delegate or lead this company well. - There is too much focus on making money for the 'next big thing' (i.e. mentors, specialist tutoring, marking) before the base concept (high school tutoring) is perfected and stable. This has led to many issues with new ventures. - The pay is incredibly poor, and the wage gap between departments (especially since certain employees are completely undeserving of their pay in reference to workload, performance, and effort) is astronomical. - There are limited opportunities for advancement, and even then, they are given to the inner circle, who will continue to push management's agenda. - There is no sense of real care about education or the future of learners in South Africa. There were mentions of giving back to the community in early stages, but never again did we hear or see any attempts at CSR. - There is no real HR or accountability, which has lead to issues in the workplace being dealt with poorly. - Work life balance is not great for those in certain departments. - Internal training/onboarding is minimal and poor, leaving other employees to pick up the slack.
