Rewarding work - Job Placement Advisor Oxford Seminars Employee Review

Independent, don't need to report to anyone

Difficult to get a hold of people at times as you work on the weekends and are usually in places where there is no one at work since it's the weekend.

It's a fun job, the teaching part at least, helping students learn how to teach and navigate the job market

Around 2022-23, the company became insolvent (the pandemic really destroyed their main source of revenue, money from people wanting to teach overseas), but the management did not convey their financial struggles to the (part-time) teaching staff in the US and Canada. Since 2023, they have not been paying taxes on employees' salaries (but they have been deducting the taxes FROM salaries), they have been issuing fabricated W2s (confirmed with owner and by checking with social security department in the US/Labour Board in Canada). Pay started arriving months late, if at all. Several instructors have still not been paid for work done in 2023. Owner has made a variety of excuses, some of them quite creative and offensive - the company accountant had a car accident, the company accountant had a stroke (really), the offices burned down (again, really).
