Pros

- Seasonal nature of work makes some spring/summer months more manageable and lower workload - Building strong relationships with students over time can be very rewarding, especially seeing them succeed

Cons

- Often working well over 10h/day during peak of application cycle, expected to work over every weekend, restrictions on when you can take PTO, must do 2x work to make up for taking PTO, overall will try to squeeze as much work out of you as possible. Unfair salary for the amount of work expected with small yearly raises - Extreme "customer is always right" mindset. if clients complain you're expected to accommodate unreasonable requests

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

- they get you good clients - good curriculum/structure - colleagues are great - good flexibility and work/life balance when you're FT, especially if you are communicative - added perks/opportunities the longer you stay with them (if you are learning their model well) - great pay - if your student gets in Early Decision

Cons

- pay is actually quite low for the service that's requested/the amount of work you actually put in/GC experience level/GC expected education background. I tolerate it because I don't have to worry about marketing and getting my own clients. My personal hourly rate is about 3-5x as high. This is not in reference to what the milestones are - this is referring to the actual work hours (emailing, messaging, scheduling, meeting, editing, editing, editing, editing, reviewing). There must be a lot of overhead or something? Or maybe they pay the FAOs much more? - I think the above makes it hard to be motivated and provide the best service. Especially for really needy students. I would honestly love to work more with IGP - I love the structure they provide - but I cannot afford to get paid so much less than when I tutor or seek out my own students
