Great Company!

Pros

Personally, I've worked for many different online schools. This is the one of the few where they seemed they cared for their employees. I've enjoyed the company so far, and hope to continue with them for a long time.

Cons

The training process is extensive. If you're looking to be quickly hired, it may take some time.

Pros

It is Flexible. That is all

Cons

If you like micromanaging this is the place for you. You are nit picked and criticized on a daily basis from how you look to how you speak. They suggested " voice coaching" because they don't like my voice. I cant change that. They make up " industry standards" that do not actually exist in the real world and try to train you to follow these made up methods. Their pay is much lower then they advertise. You are not a teacher, you are an entertainer. Get ready to be a clown all day long. They also like to switch classes at the last second and then not pay you for cancellations. They stalk facebook and other sites looking for negative reviews of themselves and then delete them. They also fire those teachers. I have worked for 6 ESL companies and this one is be far the worst. I refuse to teach for them due to their insane policies. They lock you out of your account for any little thing they dont like ( Like not smiling for 2 seconds, breathing too heavy, coughing in class, etc).

Pros

For most situations, good communication using email. Facebook group is really helpful.

Cons

For west coast teachers, the time difference can be challenging. 1/2a.m. to 5a.m.. Also, little assistance from company when there is a completely uncooperative student. In a 25 minute class there is little an online teacher can do to handle a disrespectful student. When 99.9% of the time the teacher is successful, after there is 1 complaint in 1500+ students, they will lock you out of the system.
