Nice but Weird

Pros

Nice people in the hiring team and a diverse group of people working at all times

Cons

The way they teach english is weird, is clearly marketed for central american people who can afford to make their kids take this classes and they promise that the kids will become fluent too quickly

Don't even apply

Pros

It is an online gig.

Cons

I half heartedly applied there after the Chinese online tutoring industry collapse. The company is fairly new and it seems like they still have a lot of things to figure out. Their minimum hour requirement is NOT flexible. They require 44-46 hours a week, 8 hours a day Monday through Friday and four or six additional hours on Saturday something quite unheard of in the Online ESL industry. Their onboarding process is lengthy and mind-numbing. They advertise a "paid training" only to let you know you will only get paid if you complete it and it is paid in two installments a month after you are certified with them. They will call you an independent contractor while shirking the responsibility of giving coaches any benefits. They will micromanage every single one of your classes. You will conduct the lesson over zoom and you must have one of those ugly zoom virtual backgrounds. You're also expected to teach the lesson with an over-the-top bubbly attitude and you are required to speak with a high-pitched voice or the kids "will get bored." And it is truly exhausting, now imagine doing that for 8 hours straight, Monday through Saturday. From what I see, most teachers not only aren't qualified but most of them don't even have any teaching experience at all. But by far, the worst part of it is that they pay less than peanuts, $5 per hour before taxes! The lowest pay I've seen in the Online ESL industry.

Mala experiencia

Pros

Se puede aprender herramientas de enseñanza virtuales

Cons

Los contras superan las cosas buenas del empleo. No hay oportunidades de crecimiento por más que lo prometan al inicio. Son rigurosos con los procesos pero estos mismos cambian constantemente y los trabajadores deben mantenerse al tanto de actualizaciones mágicamente. No respetan el tiempo individual de trabajo, La persona encargada de la empresa es tiránica, tenemos reuniones mensuales enfocadas en su crecimiento personal y lo que él hace para "ser un excelente jefe" pero sus reuniones se tratan de hablar de forma humillante hacia los demás y ponerse por encima de todo el mundo. El pago es triste para todo lo que piden hacer, 5 USD por una hora de clase es un insulto para lo estresante que es ser un coach o coordinador en este lugar. Se desesperan por cubrir vacantes que ellos mismos dejan porque cuando los empleados opinan lo que debería mejorar de la empresa, comienzan a despedir a la ligera independientemente de los buenos resultados. El CEO no es apto para el manejo de este curso, los incentivos para trabajadores son paupérrimos y la empresa es limitada en oportunidades de crecimiento, las clases son dinámicas al punto de tener que fingir una energía extrema y un positivimo tóxico que hasta los estudiantes detestan,
