Pros

After desperately searching for a job that I could work from home while having a newborn baby, I stumbled upon Magic Ears. I have nothing but positive things to say about this company! The hours are perfect so that I can teach before my baby even wakes up in the morning or at night after he's already gone to sleep. They have an excellent sick policy and are very understanding of emergencies. The pay is excellent for the job. I love their interactive platform and the fast paced nature of the classes. Don't hesitate to sign up with this company! They truly care about you as an employee.

Cons

I have nothing bad to say about this company.

Pros

There are great online resources to get you through the application process . High energy job.

Cons

Magic Ears appears to be disorganized. They are constantly sending wrong information to the wrong person through emails. I received a phone call from them right in the middle of one of their lessons. They were calling me to tell me that I wasn’t logged into the classroom. Later I was told that was an accident. They are kind enough to apologize but it goes on much too often. There is no mobile app. They use Skype instead of having their own app. If you don’t want to be high energy this job isn’t for you.
