Pros

The children!! Great kids and nice to work with small groups. There have been some improvements made to the teaching material.

Cons

You are treated like a dispensable commodity. No compassion, no respect, no leeway for life events. I always tried to respect the every changing rules regarding leave requests and always it would backfire, Panda ABC always come up with some reason to charge you. Costs a lot to take leave, costs you if there is a technical fault even from their side...basically you are at fault until you can prove otherwise, so I recommend taking as many screenshots as possible to back up any incidents. I had numerous supervisors throughout my time there, some infuriatingly who communicated mainly by emoji's. One supervisor responded to my pleas for help when the program wasn't working (which I could get charged for and subsequently lose that slot as a regular class) with a laughing emoji. Classes would disappear without any communication, so it was very unstable work and despite there being a rule of cancelling less than 24 hours prior, they would get around it by saying it had been postponed. Overall a negative experience; extremely infuriating and disappointing. I gave the required notice before leaving the company and their response was to take two weeks work away from me, disappointing to the very end.

Pros

Hourly wage and you work from home

Cons

They seek every opportunity to dock your pay. Their app was not allowing me to login and they docked my pay because I was late. The supervisors change frequently. They promise incentives and bonuses, but always your proformance isn't good enough. Only once did I receive a bonus, after that my supervisor was fired. I'm guessing because she gave me high enough ratings to warrant a bonus.
