Pros

Quick employment and recruitment process

Cons

- Working as an online teacher has to be at their office/center due to the locality's weak infrastructure. - When there's a class cancellation teachers are required to do 'short' writing corrections (initially I started off with a KPI of 5, then 10, then 10 but 'short' was no longer short, more like an essay each) - Unprofessional upper management
