Pros

1. You can make your own schedule anytime that suits you (there are learners around the world in different time zones). 2. You can WORK IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME-no office politics to deal with! 3. You don't have to pack a lunch as you can eat at home. 3. You don't have to commute to work . 3. You don't have to buy additional or special clothing for your job. 4. You 'meet' very interesting people that live in some very intriguing places-the 'regular weekly learners' start to become like friends. 5. You develop a sense of appreciation for the interesting world that we live in & it gives you a better 'global view'-I now look at world news a lot differently than I used to.

Cons

1. It can feel isolating to work at home because there is no physical social interaction. 2. You need to give a month's notice if you want a day off if you have already planned your schedule. 3. There are no bonuses-Christmas, birthday or anniversary (i.e. 5 yr, 10 yr, etc.). 4. There is no paid vacation time. 5. There is no medical health insurance offered by the company.

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.
