Pros

-Interacting with learners from different cultures and backgrounds can be eye-opening. -The workload isn't heavy or stress-inducing. -The environment isn't stressful. If anything, it's quite nice. -Co-workers are friendly and were welcoming during my first few days.

Cons

-Interacting with foreigners can bring issues rooted in language barriers, especially when the learners themselves find it hard to express their thoughts. -The software programs used in the office are not up to date. -Many of the resources taught to learners need updating. -The HR department didn't guide me as good as I hoped they would. Also, (I may be an isolated case though) I encountered a few problems regarding my first few paychecks.

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.
