Pros

-the hourly wage isn't bad

Cons

-Too many teachers already registered, classes are extremely scarce. Some teachers I've spoken to have had as little as three classes in six months, I was slightly luckier and had about ten. -Worst online courseware you're ever likely to see, outdated, dull and cheap looking. -Impossible to contact anyone at the company apart from though a WeChat. group which is just full of other teachers talking about how confused they are by everything. -Teacher website looks and feels like it was designed on Windows 95. -You have to manually update your schedule every week or your classes will just close, this can be easy to forget to do as no other online teaching schedule works this way. -Overall feeling that these guys do not care and just want to hire as many people as possible to cover their options.

Pros

- (Structured) Flexibility - Good pay rate -Great students -Mostly helpful co-workers -Room for growth

Cons

-Fluctuating contracts, high penalties and secrecy regarding differing payscales (under penalty of termination). Penalties seem to be assigned based on the whim of admin rather than the severity of the infraction. -Lack of communication from leadership regarding ongoing policy changes, HR problems and employee dissatisfaction. ( WHEN there are problems with payments -- you'll likely have to chase down HR and send multiple messages before it is resolved. Teachers ARE paid -- but it's not unusual that payments are several days (or in a few cases) several months late.) -Positive reinforcement of dishonest and sycophantic behavior -Fluctuating classes due to over hiring and growth goals that don't match the current demand for classes -Little room for instructor growth or secondary positions. The company sees growth as something that comes from hiring from outside rather than growing from within -Allotted classes (group classes, 1 on 3 classes, demo classes) are assigned by admin based on the "look" of the instructor rather than teaching/ English language talent. ( So, if you're blond haired, blue-eyed and younger -- or, just male, welcome!) -Teaching materials are poorly edited and too short. You'll need to have extra materials in order to teach a full class.
