Pros
- Good pay - Flexible hours - Good Cancellation Policies - Able to pick up a bunch of extra classes as standby
Cons
Okay, so I have been working at Magic Ears for about two months. I had 3 years teaching experience prior to this. I wanted to discuss a increased starting pay since I had more experience than a straight up new teacher, but they wanted me to prove that I had taught a certain number of classes in order to qualify for the $1 increase. I was pressured into signing quickly with the understanding that I would make up for it with all these bonus incentives and high booking rates. NOT TRUE. My booking rates have been terrible, and the only reason I'm scraping by is because of the standby classes that I'm able to pick up. On the other hand, their feedback is ridiculous and demoralizing. I'm all about constructive criticism, but sometimes it's also nice to give some positive feedback as well. Every time I heard from their training department, they knit picked at how I hadn't smiled for a 2 second period, wasn't enthusiastic enough, that I didn't have enough props (which I had to use my own personal funds to go buy decorations and materials to make them with), or my timing was off on slides. Honestly, the list could go on. I have tried to make adjustments and nothing seems to make them happy unless you're bouncing off the walls.
