Pros
It's hard to think about the pros of joining this company. You have an opportunity to make a difference in students' lives. Well, if they can afford the extremely steep cost (or hope that their school has federal funds to give them).
Cons
I wish I never joined Varsity Tutors. My role was not accurately marketed to me; I had literally zero tools to use in order to be successful in my job. There is no diversity and no employee resource groups. HR will tell you that they're "working on it" but ZERO traction was made in a year. That's ridiculous. I don't feel confident at all that this company will stay afloat post-covid. If you're looking for a "red flag" post, this one's it. No department is happy and turnover is crazy. If you're interviewing, ask why there's a vacancy in the first place.
