Pros

Remote work and flexible hours. I was encouraged to use up my paid time off which was a nice change from many work environments.

Cons

It pains me to say this, but working for VT has been a downhill slope for months now. By the end I was doing the work of three separate departments. In truth call volume was manageable, but the added responsibilities left us all very stretched thin. Finally, this last week they laid our entire team off, as well as many other teams. This was after we spent the previous 2 weeks training the "new hires" (unknown to us at the time, but suspected by some, our replacements) These new hires are international, and while we were getting paid around 19 an hour, these new hires would be doing the work of multiple teams for a whopping 8 dollars an hour. This is no longer the company I've grown to love over the years I put in, and can no longer recommend working here to anybody.

Pros

The teaching platform is excellent and user-friendly. The virtual classroom includes useful features such as an interactive whiteboard, which makes online teaching effective and engaging. Experienced instructors also have considerable freedom to design their own lessons and adapt materials to students' needs, allowing for high-quality instruction. Payment is processed twice a week, and instructors can easily track their earnings through the platform, which provides transparency and convenience.

Cons

Student cancellations can be challenging, especially when they occur only minutes before class. Some sessions are repeatedly rescheduled and later canceled again, making it difficult to predict income. Policies and procedures may change frequently, requiring instructors to adapt regularly to new guidelines. Work availability can fluctuate significantly. Instructors may have many students during one period and very few later on, particularly when students complete exams or finish their school year. Overall, this can be a good opportunity for supplemental income and flexible teaching experience, but it may not be ideal as a sole or highly predictable source of income.
