Pros

Early morning schedule worked with my needs as a single mom of 6 kids

Cons

Completely inflexible regarding emergencies. I had to cancel classes a few days in a row due to caring for my dying father. VIPKID just kicked me out of the platform, cancelled all my scheduled classes. I never even got to say goodbye to my students that I had been teaching 2-3 times a week for years.

Pros

Working for VIPKid was a dream come true for me after I had to resign my public school job to become a caregiver for a home-bound family member. I built up a strong list of students, and it was worth it to wake up at 4:30am 7 days per week to work with them. Most were a pleasure and a joy - a few were... trickier - but it was still a wonderful job for someone like me. I miss it dearly and would never have stopped working for them had it not been for government mandates in China.

Cons

You're penalized for having IT problems, even if you jump through hoops of fire to prove them legit. Absences, even with a doctors note, are very difficult to get excused. If you receive a bad review, the parent is (always) believed over the teacher.
