Pros

The other overworked and underpaid tutors are genuinely wonderful people. Some of the curriculum managers are great as well.

Cons

The boss pretends to care about students' needs, but is really only concerned with collecting their parents' money. He has no thought for his employees, who are worked to the bone. He is catty, retaliatory and generally immature.

Pros

The tutors at the company can be fun and outgoing. You will rely on them for support in order to deal with your overbooked schedules. The learning center is well designed and each tutor has their own room with different themes.

Cons

Groza Learning Center has the most toxic work environment of any company I have worked for. Scott Groza overcharges parents, lies about results, and forces tutors to do the homework of the children without teaching them anything. My schedule was overbooked, and I was given zero time to prep between session. Parents are charged over $100 per 50 minute session, while the tutors see about $15 of that, no matter their experience level or skills. Further, the tutors are forced to tutor in subjects they know nothing about. For example, I had to tutor Latin, while I have never once had a Latin class.

Pros

- The learning center looks cute and fun and kids enjoy the special rooms they have up front on display. The walls are painted and have decals that are fun for kids. - Kids have found success working with tutors at Groza. The success varies and it seems like most success is with stuff that is generic like homework help. The center also does test prep. - The tutors are nice and friendly coworkers!

Cons

- Most of the offices in the learning center are a little too small to work comfortably in and tutors have to share office space. Even though the center expanded, there is still overcrowding for tutors and students. - Parents pay Groza over $100 an hour per session, but as a tutor I was getting paid $15 an hour even with an advanced degree and experience. As a tutor, you could probably make more money with other companies. - PARENTS! Not all of the tutors have experience in what they are asked to do. I was asked to tutor a middle school kid in a foreign language that I didn't even know. That was an uncomfortable tutoring session... - Scott not only pays guys more than girls, but he also has favorites and they are all guys. Example: When a guy left the center for something new, Scott threw him a party. When a girl left the center for something new, Scott ignored it and we threw her a secret party in the back. - Tutors are overworked and because of that, they can't always give 100% of their attention to their students. I had five students in a row once and to make it work I had to have my current student doing independent work while I was prepping for the next one.
