Pros

Flexible work-from-home schedule Easy-to-use teaching platform Prepared lesson materials, so minimal lesson planning Opportunity to meet students from different countries Good option for gaining online teaching experience.

Cons

Class availability became very inconsistent over time, especially for long-term teachers. After several years with the company, bookings declined significantly to the point where it was difficult to maintain meaningful hours. Communication can feel very automated and impersonal, even after years of service with the company. Long-term teachers may sometimes feel undervalued despite their loyalty and experience.

Pros

The students are the only positive aspect of the job.

Cons

Very low pay compared to industry standards, with no bonus or end-of-year commission. No clear direction from upper management, expect constant changes and inconsistent expectations. The work environment feels disrespectful, and employees often feel undervalued. Working conditions have become more strict over time, creating a stressful and discouraging atmosphere. No teacher freedom to make instructional decisions; creativity is discouraged. Constant fear of job loss due to regular staff cuts and unstable staffing decisions. Recent restructuring resulted in a significant pay cut paired with an increase in working hours. Communication is poor, and decisions seem to be made without considering the impact on staff.
