Pros

Organized, paid training, touch-base often, community support, paid for no-show students, accessible chatrooms for questions, comments, and concerns

Cons

rigid rules, 4 weeks where the school is closed with no pay, you get paid teaching hours" not PER hour (very important to distinguish), your non-teaching hourly rate is 5$ per hour which is ridiculous.

We’re happy to hear that you were satisfied with the training, support, and chat rooms! At VIPX, we value a sense of community, and always strive to make our teachers feel comfortable. For this reason especially, we are disappointed to learn that you were unhappy with the management and Team Leaders. Though the TL position has since been dissolved, if you have any suggestions about how management could improve their support of our teachers, we welcome you to send us an email at support@vipx.com. It is unfortunate that you experienced few classes at first; unpredictable fluctuations in market demands sometimes create low-enrollment periods. We apologize that you joined us at one such time. Due to similar dissatisfaction about the non-teaching hourly rate, we have elected to follow the industry standard and pay only for teaching hours rather than by total availability. We also acknowledge the confusion that has surrounded what comprises a teaching hour. To clarify: teachers are assigned an hourly rate, and the cumulative booked teaching hours in a month (worked in slots of 50-minutes) calculate the final salary. We are happy to announce that we have also minimized official company holiday weeks to offer more stable income throughout the year. It is our hope that these changes will positively affect all current and future teachers. Thank you very much for your honest review and for your time with us. Best of luck in your future endeavours!

Pros

Good course ware and students.

Cons

This is one of those companies with Draconian attendance policies. They expect "100% attendance" . I did not request any leave for an entire year, not one class. When I finally did due to a surgery I had to have they gave me a very hard time about it. I was shocked. I also needed to request missing one other class because my father was in the hospital and had no one to take him home..they denied my request. The absence that I had to take for my surgery caused my "attendance rate" to go below their ridiculous threshold that you need to get a raise so therefore I was not eligible-despite the fact that I had over a 90% student retention rate for a year! When they denied my request to help my father, that was enough and I quit. They also ask you to participate in a ton of extra work that is unpaid, like extremely comprehensive student reviews, contests etc They say that if you participate you will get more points toward a raise-like blackmail. I would not recommend this company because of this. There are many others that give more flexibilty. Don't waste your time getting stuck with a company that makes obtaining a raise so difficult.

We’re alarmed to learn that you had such a negative experience at VIPX, particularly because it is company policy to prioritize time off for the types of leave you have described. This situation has been brought to the attention of administration and is currently under review ensure future teachers do not face similar conditions. If you would like to send us additional information about your experiences, please send an email to support@vipx.com. As for the extra workload that you described, though participation in company incentive programs does not go unnoticed, they are not the only path to raises or promotions. The occasional contests we host are entirely optional, meant only to inspire a sense of company culture and provide the opportunity to earn financial bonuses. We regret that they made you feel undue pressure to participate; we will adjust our announcements in future to make that clearer. Thank you for your honest review, and best of luck in your future endeavors.
