      Business outlook

      Pros

      - unionized campuses in New York City - one-to-one education way easier to handle than a classroom - 4 day workweek, or 5 days if you want

      Cons

      - structure incentivizes lowering academic rigor - school resources/materials lackluster (though improved since I joined) - lack of consequences for students - hard to get hours at certain campuses/times of year

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Work culture, amazing parents and students, opportunities for growth, location. Close to I95 and the Tri-rail station

      Cons

      The pay could be better considering the cost of living, tuition cost, and location. I also would love to see more funds invested into the Homework Cafe.

      Pros

      Fun culture, lots of lunches and/or snacks provided. Staff works with you to help you get more hours, for example, since your bills won't stop during the summer...

      Cons

      There are a lot, honestly. In a nutshell, you are expected to work as a full-time teacher, except you are paid as part-time or three-quarter-time. Not given enough planning time, which means that if you want to present a decent lesson and cohesive curriculum to your students, you will work for free: darned if you do, and darned if you don't. It seems like a good concept on paper, but apparently, it's hard to make their model work. Quality teachers want reliable income, but since Fusion (for whatever reason) can't pay decently, the good ones run as soon as they get something better.
