Pros
The management team is great and provide many helpful training videos that we can access any time we need a refresher. They offer many bonus incentives on top of our base pay. They do have some strict rules on teachers but they are to the benefit of the children and the teachers- like leaving our feedback for the parent and next teacher in timely manner (within 12 hours). If we don't then we don't get paid but really how much does a teacher accurately remember after 12 hours and having taught multiple other students? I never would have imagined I could make so much money while working from home while my children are still sleeping. On top of the base salary they also pay you an extra $1 for each class booked (even if the student is a no show!) and they pay you another $1 for each class taught. So whatever base pay they offer per class (25 minutes each) add $2 for the ones taught and $1 for the ones where the student had an issue. Then add another $2 for short notice classes (when teachers are no shows or have IT problems and you pick up their class). So like this morning I picked up 2 short notice classes so I ended up making $22 for the hour. I highly recommend VIPKID to anyone who is passionate about teaching children and wants to help make a difference in a young person's life.
Cons
The hours can be super early (depending on where you live) or super late. But since you choose your own schedule it makes it not so bad. Sometimes the lessons change on you without any notice. Firemen are nearly impossible to get a hold of unless they want you to pick up a short notice class...
