Pros

The comfortable setting, the communication from the branch manager(s) and other instructors (for shared classes), the snacks and beverages in the kitchen, pleasant branch staff as well as pleasant students, competitive pay rates and opportunities to select which classes you want to teach. It was always a joy working with students who actively WANTED to be there and to learn as much as possible.

Cons

Some of the pre-made content was out of date and required significant prep work to make up-to-date prior to actual class time.

Ok, I'm biased, I was the CEO. Still, I loved it and enjoyed the people I worked with.

Cons

Had to get up early to get in to work on time.

Pros

They have a great system where the teacher's monitor is displayed in between every 2 student machines. This means that you don't have to have a projection system where it's hard to see and you have to drop your resolution to a ridiculously small size. They have vendor relationships with high-quality but inexpensive print-on-demand textbooks. This means that each student has a paper printout that they could markup and take home. This works especially well for the Adobe product classes. They have great classrooms in their main office, but sometimes I get to teach at location at a company as well. There are many different subjects to teach, so I am not stuck teaching one subject (unless I want to). Management is understanding, communicative, and honest - which is rare for a company this size.

Cons

Not enough work for me to do it as my only job.
