Vantaggi
I worked with some amazing families and students, and met some good friends at this job. I actually really enjoyed this job and the entire office staff, including directors, with the exception of the owner(s), as they never once introduced themselves to me, nor did I feel appreciated by them. I enjoyed working the k-plus program the most because it was the closest to a "real" teaching position. Summer camp and before/after school was fun to work, too, but felt more like a daycare or babysitting at times. Summer camp was fun to work at and go on the field trip with the students.
Svantaggi
Split shifts were not fun, especially when you don't live close. But I felt as if I needed to work split shift just to get a pay increase. Also stinks that there is no vacation, sick leave, etc. It's difficult in this position during holidays and snow days because you won't get paid. Overall, the lack of pay is why I had to leave this position. Owners, show some appreciation to your staff - at least get to know them!
