Please reach out to Cherry, our HR Director, or any other member of the leadership team with whom you feel comfortable meeting to share your experience, so we can follow up and take the appropriate action. Again, we take allegations of workplace misconduct seriously, want to emphasize that we have a zero tolerance policy toward harassment of any kind, and appreciate you sharing your experience.

Pros

You make your own hours/schedule

Cons

Raises do not match inflation. Designed to be a minimum wage job based on the realistic amount of hours you can accrue. Work life balance is tough; difficult to maintain boundaries. Benefits are impossible to receive and easily lost based on factors outside of your control (change in hours worked due to summer vacation)

Pros

The students are wonderful to work with

Cons

The company strongly discourages employees to engage in necessary administrative time, as they are required to pay them for all administrative work. They do this under the cloak of "rapid-lesson planning", without appropriately defining what this actually is or training staff how to do this. While they do have an employee handbook that outlines what tutors are entitled to (breaks, travel, etc.), upper management does basically nothing to remind tutors of all these things, and in a lot of cases misleads tutors into believing they are not actually entitled to them - when they in fact are. Upper management argues that tutors are not entitled to pay if they don't submit it in BigTime, or that employees waive their rights to pay when they do this....this is not true. Numerous times AJ has had to backpay employees who have gone back and found missing wages or factored in wages that they didn't know they were entitled to. If you are going to be at AJ for any amount of time, be sure to meticulously document your schedule and make sure you are paid everything you are owed, because AJ will make no effort to make sure you are.

Thanks for your feedback. One of the benefits of working at AJ is that tutors set their own schedules, which affords them flexibility. As a result, tutors have to submit their time every two weeks so that we can pay them (and bill our clients). When they realize that they have failed to enter hours they have worked in the past, we of course always go back and pay them. We also pay for time outside of the lessons (training, meeting with mentors, communicating with parents). We pay a higher rate for the actual tutoring lessons because we want our tutors to spend most of their time in actual tutoring lessons with students.
