Varsity Tutors reviews

Just ensure when you accept a position with them you have everything in writing in your contract beforehand. I accepted the position thinking it was going to be a great job (and I came from an education and tutoring background) but it wasn't until AFTER my training they informed me I'd be working a minimum of 50 hours per week with only a 30 minute lunch each day and I was on-call every weekend I wasn't working. The bonuses and technology weren't all they were hyped up to be during the interview either and my manager, have to hand it to her, was single-handedly the greatest micro-manager ever to exist. I am not at all surprised at the rate of turnover that existed; at times it felt like slavery. The company was also unaware of the employment laws in my state, they forgot to send my W2 the year after I quit, and they asked me to sign a contract stating I would never speak ill of the company or disclose my salary without opening myself up to litigation. It appears some of their policies have changed and kudos to them for doing so but from my end, all I can say is that it was one of the worst companies I have worked for but if it's something you're interested in, just ensure you get your terms spelled out in detail and in writing beforehand.

I was told when I was hired that I would work about fifty hours a week. The reality is that I worked more than sixty. The schedule was totally out of whack and extremely tiring. There was also not much flexibility. I found it impossible to have any kind of work life balance, which is why i left eventually. Also, if you divide your salary up into the amount of hours you work, it is a very paltry sum. Work from home or no, this job is extremely demanding of your emotional, mental, and physical time.
