Pros

- Really great FAOs (if you get a good one. If you're like me and have some unsupportive FAOs, you are completely on your own)

Cons

- Pay: absolutely awful. I can't recommend the pay to anyone, especially since you're responsible for a student for essentially an entire year for all their essays...and for next to no pay - Support: if you get a great FAO then you're good to go. If you get one who ducks out of responsibilities and disappears until the end, it's a terrible situation for everyone - Time consuming: I don't mind hard work, but you're literally worked to the bone. Say one student is on a 6 school package. Say each school requires 4 essays. You as the GC are responsible for at least 4-5 drafts of each essay. Add that all up and it becomes 100% not worth your time

Pros

Flexible schedule for most part. Coworkers are all very nice and everyone there respects work- life boundaries. Supportive and collaborative coworkers as well.

Cons

Hours can be difficult at times. Working with lots of people in Asia- that’s the job though.

Pros

Good network of people and sources of information to help students in their applications to college

Cons

Horrible compensation. They'll tell you ahead of time that you'll make about $25-30/hr, but once you accounts for all the small tasks (checking email daily, responding to emails, double checking AI outputs), you'll end up making more like $10-12/hr. Apparently this has been going on for years, I'm seeing past reviews on here about this from 2020, so this company doesn't seem to care about their employees, making them sign a contract with 6 weeks notice to quit to basically trap them for a few months at an abysmal pay rate. They also seems to keep doing waves of hiring (I was brought in through a recruiter), so the pay is likely causing this frequent turnover, which is horrible for the students they're supposed to be supporting.
