Pros

Anything conceivably "good" about working there is utterly outweighed by everything concretely bad about working there.

Cons

You do not want to work here. The founders (with whom I worked for a period) are unethical, greedy, misogynistic, and vindictive. The company itself has become the dinosaur it started out to replace: outdated, slow to react, and "run" by out-of-touch egos. There's good reason for the tremendous turnover in both the onsite staff and the offsite tutoring team: the company takes advantage of literally everyone. Everything is about the bottom line (the "Social Mission" idea fell by the wayside a long time ago, as it just wasn't profitable)--which means pressuring customers to purchase more (with unrealistic promises of score improvement), forcing new hires to work unpaid Saturdays, keeping pay rates as low as possible, and making the bonus structure so byzantine that it's impossible to hold it to account. Because the pay is so low, top talent tends to leave pretty quickly, and, while some competent people remain in mid-level positions, there are unquestionably those who aren't competent enough. The word employees most commonly (and correctly) use to describe the atmosphere is "toxic." Just about everyone I encountered at Revolution Prep was miserable working there, and you will be too if you take a job with the company. You won't be valued for your service; you will be treated as a means to an end. If you want to work in education and help students, do yourself a real favor and work for *any* of the other of the numerous test prep companies out there--I guarantee you you'll be treated much better and have a much healthier attitude toward your work.
