STAY AWAY!!!

Part time online educator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

the job was 100% online

Cons

Where do I even start? The online educators are the ones responsible for actually providing the education to the students. The workload was insanely heavy for a "part time" position and management only cares about online metrics. Not students who passed their tests, not engagement, just time spent online.
