Great remote job, but... - ASL Instructor LanguageBird Employee Review

Great company, good people, excellent students.

I has been great so far.

To be certain, there are some fabulous things about this company such as a nice community of teachers and the fact that the company is accredited. However, the pros are overshadowed by confusing onboarding and lack of any career advancement.

Instructors are paid only for their time in the virtual classroom. Though this fact seems like a reasonable thing given the contract nature and hourly pay of the position. However, it is the ridiculous amount of paperwork and busy work that a teacher must do outside of their class time which makes this job's paltry salary (mostly $19-21 USD) dwindle to even less in terms of time/compensation. Finally, the management leaves much to be desired. It is not so much the management itself as it is the constant turnover and lack of communication so that a teacher has little clue about their performance or that instructors don't really feel connected despite efforts. It is a shame. They abuse their 'good' teachers and play favorites for assignments of students.
