Pros

- You meet interesting people from varied backgrounds, whether fellow co-workers or learners. - It's not bad for fresh graduates or those who are just starting out. - Their IT/Helpdesk Support do their best and are helpful. - My current Trainer Manager is hard working and is one of the few willing to take time to listen to his employees. Note that there are different Trainer Managers for different shifts, I can't comment for other Managers in other departments or upper management.

Cons

- It's easy to get de-motivated from their "Standards" evaluations of your lessons. The Standards are too boxed in and make teaching robotic. There also seems to be a disconnect on how it actually measures "performance" - There seems to be high employee turnover. - No pay increases and/or an almost impossible to meet "bonus scheme" - No long term benefits in the long run. - Direct answers to questions are often evaded, even if their Core Company Values includes "transparency" which doesn't appear to be reflected in upper management response.

Pros

You meet many interesting people around the world. The people who work for the company are friendly and helpful.

Cons

It's a fast-paced environment and can get very busy but that's not always a bad thing because it's never boring.

Pros

For a side hustle, maybe.

Cons

Toxic work environment, rules on the fly, no respect, arbitrary, shenanigans for not paying, changing payment methods in detriment of the trainers, negative work environment, completely unmotivating, never appreciate all the clients that appreciate a trainer, and politicize the teaching methodology to spread environmentalism and pro-big tech agenda ideals.

This review raises a number of serious accusations, and we feel it's important to respond to them directly. Suggestions that the company engages in "shenanigans" to avoid paying trainers, advances political agendas or dismisses people for being honest simply do not reflect reality. Transparency is one of our core values, and payment structures, incentives, and policies are communicated very clearly. We also reject the suggestion that trainers are not respected. Trainers are at the centre of what we do, and respectful, professional communication is something we expect from everyone in the organisation. While your overall view is clearly very negative, spending more than eight years with the company suggests there were aspects of the role that continued to work for you over a very long period of time. We wish you the best going forward.
