House of math sadly suffers from one of the worst illnesses a company can have: A narcissistic, self absorbed and elitist CEO who only cares about the company and it's reputation. Any teacher working here is just a means to an end. If you are lucky, you will only ever see this person during the mandatory staff meetings. Here you will mostly just hear about the CEOs achievements, how great this person is and how great the company is.
Career Opportunities:
You are employed as a part time teacher. After working a while you can become a senior teacher. If the CEO likes you you can work in the admin.
Compensation/Benefits:
The salary looks great on paper, but when factoring in all the unpaid preparation time, the running around from customer to customer and the low travelling pay your salary is actually lower than the Norwegian poverty line. The company is not unionized, and during my years at the company we did not receive a single pay rise. A lot of the pay is also based on provisions.
Culture and values:
To quickly sum this one up, The CEO once said that the company was "The Mercedes of private tutoring".
Diversity and Inclusion:
There are many different people at the company. However only a few seem to actually be liked by the CEO. These are the opportunistic, elitist and super extroverted types or the "Lucky ones". The rest will slowly fall out due to the brutal working culture.
Senior Management:
Pray you never get on the CEOs bad side. There is no way back without humiliating yourself.
Work/Life Balance
You will receive customers from the main office, and after that they become your sole responsibility. To fill in the time slots you need to have many customers, however much of your time becomes spent in planning tutoring hours and handling cancellations. Work will quickly follow you from 8am to 10pm in the evening and slowly take over your life.
