Brainfuse Employee Reviews about "people"

Cons

-They don't pay enough, nor do they allow enough time for tutors in the writing lab. Time expectations are not humanly possible. So you end up working for longer than you're paid for or you have to stop in the middle of what you're doing and fill out half of the form (which is not allowed). -After you work in the writing lab, you ALWAYS get a ton of 'feedback' emails from auditors telling you a bunch of things you did 'wrong.' A lot of the feedback you receive is completely inaccurate/invalid. It makes you want to stay out of the writing lab. Then, when the writing lab gets behind, they wonder why no one wants to pick up the work. -When live tutoring, you OFTEN have to tutor 2, 3, or even 4 students at a time. You are NOT paid for tutoring more than one student at once. It's not fair to the tutor, nor to the student who ends up having to wait longer and get less attention. -Very poor communication systems. You have certain email addresses to contact for certain things (not specific people, but rather departments) some of the people who respond treat tutors very poorly and disrespectfully. -High stress environment -Overall low pay for the qualifications you need to have, and when you compare it to what you get paid at other companies (or tutoring face to face)

Cons

I had a good schedule until this month. I worked part-time and then the March calendar came out and I had nothing. I e-mailed them to see what was going on and they advised me there weren't enough hours for me. When I replied and asked them if this was their way of terminating me, I never got a response back. Which keeps me wondering am I in or out? Another issue for me is that I could be tutoring three students at once. When I advised a student that I had more than one in my room I got a complaint. But what else can one say about the matter? When students are done we can't "disconnect" from them so unless they know they must disconnect they can sit there until their time runs out.
