Pros
Watching students grow. Getting paid. These are the ONLY positives.
Cons
Company just delivered a nasty pay cut to the vast majority of teachers -- including old-timers like myself. Teachers have zero control over the number of bookings they get, and that number is EXACTLY *how much* you're paid relies on. Seeing as we're in the middle of a global pandemic, this is the worst possible timing. The company's practices have ALWAYS been dishonest and shady. You can count on large policy changes to come with layers of deep obfuscation. Teachers are blamed for everything that could possibly go wrong from student IT issues, to platform glitches, severe student behavioral problems, and more. The cancellation policy is punitive. The incentives that we earn can be subject to penalties for "unexcused" emergencies or illnesses -- legal wage-docking, to be frank. Complaints will go ignored. You will not be heard. Do not work here.
