Pros

I have been working for this company for 10 years now. It is a company that I am truly proud to work for. The company is constantly expanding and upgrading it's services to be the best in the business. I get to see a side of the world that most don't. I have learners on every continent (except Antarctica) and have learned so much about the world through these experiences. I appreciate the flexible schedule, the ability to work at unconventional hours and accountability without being micromanaged.

Cons

1. You only get paid when you do a lesson (not when you're available)- which ebbs and flows during busy seasons, however due to global expansion efforts the slow seasons are to a minimum. But you are paid if the learner doesn't show up. 2.There are NO benefits. Your salary is your salary. No health, no PTO, no sick days. However, you are allowed to take off as much scheduled time off as you want (just without pay). Great for school aged moms, retirees and people who don't need the benefits.

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.
