Pros

Schedule flexibility, bonuses, friendships made, medical benefits

Cons

The micromanagement is insane! This company is also incompetent, unprofessional, inconsistent, and displays an immense amount of favoritism. From May 2024 to October 2024 (6 months), I have had THREE different managers, so that should tell you something! If they want you gone, they will find a way, trust me! If you have a backbone and stand up for what you believe is right, they will target you! This is the worst company I have ever worked for. They don't value good employees. We are just a number to them and easily replaceable. I was told by one of my managers to carry my laptop to the bathroom with me! Are you serious? We can't even put ourselves on "Busy" status to use the restroom. When a compliment is given by a manager, it is always followed by criticism. ALWAYS! "You did a great job digging into Discovery, BUT..." I didn't make goal for one month, but they never factored in that I had 20 hours of idle time that month! This company will suck the life out of you and give you nothing in return. They are so unappreciative! STAY AWAY!!!!!

Pros

The teaching platform is excellent and user-friendly. The virtual classroom includes useful features such as an interactive whiteboard, which makes online teaching effective and engaging. Experienced instructors also have considerable freedom to design their own lessons and adapt materials to students' needs, allowing for high-quality instruction. Payment is processed twice a week, and instructors can easily track their earnings through the platform, which provides transparency and convenience.

Cons

Student cancellations can be challenging, especially when they occur only minutes before class. Some sessions are repeatedly rescheduled and later canceled again, making it difficult to predict income. Policies and procedures may change frequently, requiring instructors to adapt regularly to new guidelines. Work availability can fluctuate significantly. Instructors may have many students during one period and very few later on, particularly when students complete exams or finish their school year. Overall, this can be a good opportunity for supplemental income and flexible teaching experience, but it may not be ideal as a sole or highly predictable source of income.
