        Pros

        Flexibility by working from home. Selecting to work the hours you can. Can work from anywhere.

        Cons

        They do not care about their employees. They have tutors with many different students at once but you are unable to say you are working with more than one at the same time. You are expected to jump from one subject to the next in second while explaining thoroughly to each student. You have to put up with rude students because they will ignore your complaints. You are expected to work as fast as a robot but maintain a good attitude at all times. New features mean that you will be handed session you did not sign up for but are obligated to fulfill regardless of your preparation but are also required to demonstrate full dominance of that specific subject you need to teach.

                  Cons

                  Sometimes very challenging to get hours. Students can be rude and management does nothing to help. Can have three or four students at the same time, and you are not allowed to tell the students you have more than one, so they are impatient.

                      Administrative Assistant

                      Gave two interviews recently and got a feedback that I wasn’t able to explain my role as effectively, because of which I won’t be able to transition as fast into a fast-paced environment. I have worked in one small firm and one small-mid firm, and I personally feel I am ready to take up more responsibilities and move to a bigger firm for more exposure. Not sure how else I can explain my roles effectively, even after walking them through everything, how am I supposed to utilise this feedback?

                      Im really interested in applying for Walmart but I'm not interested in the bs that comes along with it. Especially when nowadays the difference between poverty & not living on the streets is a full-time job (If you're lucky) 🥴🥴

                      What are hiring managers looking for?? I have had so many interviews and have not gotten the job! I have literally had the people I’ve interviewed with tell me that I was a shoo in for the job, invite me to tour the facilities, and give incredibly positive feedback but I haven’t gotten the jobs. I’m so frustrated because I need to get out of my current job situation asap but have had ZERO luck.
