      Stressful job with low pay and high expectations

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      You get very flexible hours. That's about it.

      Cons

      The pay of $10-12 an hour with a college degree is insulting. In my three years there, I never saw any raise. Before I left, the bonus pay opportunities for peak times were even taken away. There are no promotional opportunities recently. Getting 30 minutes to read an often long essay, comment throughout, and then write up a personalized lesson is very stressful. It's even worse knowing you get only $5-6 for all the work. It became not worth it anymore since easier work that pays twice that is available elsewhere.
