Just like most other college counseling companies: opiniones de empleados con el puesto de BD Specialist en InGenius Prep

- IGP is a refreshing college prep institution because it really emphasizes the authenticity of the student. So no writing essays, no forcing kids to be perfect robots - your role is to support them in finding what they love and enjoy. That feels really good. - A very supportive place to work: they're considerate about limitations and mistakes and will give you opportunities to correct them. - You have a lot of freedom, especially as a contractor, to control your schedule, including taking time off (as long as you give adequate notice). - Salaried gets pretty solid benefits, and there's definitely movement from contract to salaried. - Times are flexible depending on your and your students' availability. - Lots of educational resources available to learn about the industry.

- You're kind of on your own to figure things out after training: though people are always available to ask for help, you do have to ask. Not always a bad thing, you just have to be proactive. - Parents and students can be difficult, especially when they have high expectations. People management is a very important part of this job.

- they get you good clients - good curriculum/structure - colleagues are great - good flexibility and work/life balance when you're FT, especially if you are communicative - added perks/opportunities the longer you stay with them (if you are learning their model well) - great pay - if your student gets in Early Decision

- pay is actually quite low for the service that's requested/the amount of work you actually put in/GC experience level/GC expected education background. I tolerate it because I don't have to worry about marketing and getting my own clients. My personal hourly rate is about 3-5x as high. This is not in reference to what the milestones are - this is referring to the actual work hours (emailing, messaging, scheduling, meeting, editing, editing, editing, editing, reviewing). There must be a lot of overhead or something? Or maybe they pay the FAOs much more? - I think the above makes it hard to be motivated and provide the best service. Especially for really needy students. I would honestly love to work more with IGP - I love the structure they provide - but I cannot afford to get paid so much less than when I tutor or seek out my own students
