Pros

- Really great FAOs (if you get a good one. If you're like me and have some unsupportive FAOs, you are completely on your own)

Cons

- Pay: absolutely awful. I can't recommend the pay to anyone, especially since you're responsible for a student for essentially an entire year for all their essays...and for next to no pay - Support: if you get a great FAO then you're good to go. If you get one who ducks out of responsibilities and disappears until the end, it's a terrible situation for everyone - Time consuming: I don't mind hard work, but you're literally worked to the bone. Say one student is on a 6 school package. Say each school requires 4 essays. You as the GC are responsible for at least 4-5 drafts of each essay. Add that all up and it becomes 100% not worth your time

This job pays literal crumbs

Pros

Working with the students (you can honestly find your own clients and mentor them on your own. This way, you'll make way more money and it will actually be worth your time).

Cons

No real structure, very confusing to navigate the internal system due to the oversaturation of resources/materials/guides. The company expects a lot of work out of you in exchange for abysmal pay. Very concerning that none of the higher-ups seem to acknowledge or be understanding regarding the unfairness of the pay. Would suggest that anyone who is in the onboarding process read the contract very very carefully.

Pros

Students can be lovely and talented

Cons

Horrible management and zero loyalty to employees. They mismanaged company and broke all contracts. They now expect who is left to work like dogs and cut everyone second time using Covid as excuse.

We have been in the midst of the greatest financial disaster in modern history. Companies to the left and right have been laying off staff. In order to avoid this, we asked employees to voluntarily accept reduced pay temporarily. This is exceptionally common during these times (90% of US employees making less than 100k have experienced this or been laid off), particularly among companies that value their employees and colleagues and don't want anyone to lose their jobs. Further, the executive team cut their compensation to near-zero (something we mentioned several times but evidently you missed those all-hands meetings). Our executive team were the lowest paid employees in the company - they specifically cut their pay to below poverty levels so that no one would need to be let go. As a result, we have had to lay off zero people. Zero. And now that things are returning to normal, we have been able to raise salaries once again - less than 3 months later. Contrary to your comment, we never cut compensation "a second time" - covid was the first and only time that happened. Never previously, never since. It seems that what you're upset about is that you accepted reduced pay along with well over half our country, rather than having your colleagues fired. This is not in keeping with our mission or ethos. Further, anyone else who thinks "I think a company should fire some people entirely rather than keep everyone on payroll during a crisis" should not apply to our company. We were able to keep almost 150 people on payroll during covid - all of those people were able to afford rent, buy food, etc. We are exceptionally proud of that. We think you should be too. We wish you the best.
