Pros
These were the pros that attracted me when i first started: Pay ($8 base pay +$2 incentives per class = $10/ 25 minute class). Cash Incentives. Relatively good cancellation policy in comparison to other companies. Time flexibility and fully remote.
Cons
They changed everything except for working remotely. Our Class Incentives (previously $2/ class) are changing to ($0.80 - $2.1 per class). Starting base pay has been lowered from the average of $8 to the $7 range. Raises are being eliminated as a 'response' from the previous concern from teachers because even Veteran full time teachers were being denied raises for a long time. So they just did away with them altogether. That makes NO sense. Cash incentives turned to Token Incentives that are only usable inside the VIPKid platform and even then, they're stingy with those things. LOWer bookings for teachers almost across the board. Time flexibility has also not been great because we need to open up more time slots for students to book in order to make up for the loss of income due to the low bookings. VIPKid proudly boasts of 100,000 teachers and yet so many are losing money. This is just the latest among a long list of really shady things VIPKid has done to teachers with absolutely no transparency that hindered their income. We find out through the parents who are kind enough to let us know what's happening on their end.
