Pros

I guess the pay is OK, however, you could literally make as much money working for another online teaching company so it's not anything you can't find elsewhere or is primarily exclusive to Magic Ears.

Cons

The Application process is daunting. They have extremely weird requirements, you need to be happy and peppy 24/7 in order to get hired by them. I don't know if acting like a circus clown constitutes good teaching but to each it's own. So, unless you're one of those rare few who can put on a good show don't bother with this job. The other thing I've noticed from watching a couple of demo videos on Youtube is that some applicants don't fully exhibit that energetic, peppy persona this company is going for, they're not over the top ridiculous for sure and yet they get hired. So if you live within the US, is a Caucasian I'm sure you'll get the job other than that don't bother even if you try your best to exhibit everything they're looking for and you act like a circus clown, chances are they won't hire you because "you're not a good fit" literally.

Pros

Pay is pretty good if you can commit to enough hours to earn bonuses

Cons

hours are Beijing time, so very early morning in the US They have switched to homeroom classes, so you can't just open your schedule on days you are available and get scheduled, which was what made this attractive before as a filler for when other jobs weren't as active
