page<\/a> gives the company an overall rating of 3.6 out of 5, with 49% willing to recommend them, though this is calculated from just 5 Ignite tutor reviews at present.<\/p>\n\n\n\nI have consolidated all the positive and negative comments from these Ignite Reading employee reviews<\/strong> below, which praise the company’s mission and impact, thorough and interactive paid training, learning platform, lesson plans, and students’ nature. Most criticism is towards the lack of employee benefits (being a contract position), as well as scheduling restrictions, low pay, and demanding administrative work that is unpaid: <\/p>\n\n\n\n\nAdvantages:\n\n“The company is amazing! They are on a mission to help children learn to read with a proven program. You can really make a difference in the lives of the children you serve! The company is very invested in training for the tutors. The training is paid and is very thorough, interactive, and practical. They truly care about helping the children and the tutors as well.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\nThe company is invested in fully training new educators in the Science of Reading.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\nThe kids are amazing! I love working with the students and not having to be concerned about lesson planning before I head into a session (Ignite provides it for me). I also love the learning platform, and they are consistently innovating in the EdTech space to make things easier for tutors. The trainings are extensive but fun, and the team makes me feel encouraged and supported.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\nKids are cute. Okayish idea<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\ninspiring and encouraging workplace with great people”<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\nDisadvantages:\n\n“There are no benefits. Since the tutors are not w-2 employees, but rather are self-employed contractors, they are responsible for their own taxes. They also have to purchase all work supplies and equipment such as a computer, etc. There is a limit on how much a tutor can work during the 1st 9 weeks (training period). The limit is 2 hours per day, 5 days a week until you complete their training program. However, once tutors complete the professional tutor certification program, they can work up to 30 hours a week.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\nNo benefits; it is a contract position<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n1. The pay is low and there is no opportunity for higher pay based on experience. 2. Tutors are constantly (every few months) made to sign new contracts that get longer and more restrictive each time. There is no alternative to these contracts to continue to work there. 3. Tutors are restricted in their number of off days, number of times they can change their availability in the year, and other restrictions. 4. The job is demanding (the record keeping, hour logging, and other administrative tasks take up more time sometimes than tutoring students). You are not compensated for this extra work anymore.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\nPay is low<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\nGrowing super fast, and it can be hard to keep up.”<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nThere is currently only 1 additional review on the Ignite Reading Indeed<\/a><\/strong> page<\/a>, which adds that while the people at the company are passionate, disorganization (possibly from rapid growth) creates a lack of communication and support:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
