Varsity Tutors Employee Reviews about "management"

Pros

The company is constantly growing and evolving. Management Team prioritizes employees as much as anyone could ask for and are very communicative. The benefits and opportunities have been outstanding! HR is always asking for feedback and trying to make things better. Being built on remote work meant we were able to adjust to 'COVID life' quickly and seamlessly.

Cons

Things do move really fast sometimes and that kind of environment isn't for everyone.

Pros

Working from home. Though I think the company's expectation of its employees working a minimum of 50 hours a week diminishes that perk.

Cons

$40k/yr to work the way company policy states is ridiculous! Upper management needs to put their money where there mouth is and actually show that they value their employees. Turnaround is insane

Pros

You will go through a wonderful training program that gives you all the tools you need to succeed and management is patient with employees.

Cons

I'll tell you when I find one.

Pros

The management team is there to support your professional development while supporting and understanding your personal needs. Culture is all about improving the lives of our customers and our employees.

Cons

None! I'll probably work here forever as long as the opportunities for growth are available!

Pros

Some get to work at home. Lots of bonuses and gifts for doing well. Good benefits.

Cons

Management doesn't tell you what you should expect moving forward in training levels that you go through. I had a sale 10-11 days in a row in 3rd phase and second highest to highest every day in dials. Even jumped on the company in my days off to check in with prospective clients. But even though I was doing what I was supposed to do in 2rd training phase I was let go due to taking too long in 2nd phase. Which mind you since I didn't take any days off I used them at Christmas time because I have my son for all of Christmas break and they faulted me and counted my vacation time against me. People in my same time didn't have a sale every day like I did (I figured I made the company between 10-12K in that time). I hardly got any help from my manager. I ended up calling other workers to get advice because I wasn't getting it from my manager. So don't take time off to be with your family because they will sing you for it. People on my team kept telling me how awesome I was doing. But obviously I was let go before I was doing too well to get rid of me. Which I already was. Other people on my own team had taken the same amount of time and they didn't lose their jobs. Also some people got special treatment in which they got to call more newer leads than others even though they didn't hit their numbers yet to be allowed to do that. Losing my job was a complete shock.

Pros

*Meaningful work. Our job is directly related to changing lives by providing experts to learners all around the world. *Upper Management is constantly looking for feedback and is receptive to ideas from all levels. We frequently receive 'pulse' checks about our opinions on a variety of different areas. *Work Culture is one of accountability and creativity. I feel my colleagues work just as hard as I do. We lean on each other to problem solve! *Work/Life Balance - We enjoy days off for our birthday, volunteer time and to enjoy floating holidays.

Cons

*With any company, there can be points of frustration, but the great thing about VT is they listen and make accommodations so they can to provide the best work environment possible.

Pros

Varsity Tutors has an excellent management and a very easy and convenient way of having tutors a way of teaching through its online platform. VT really helped me to have atleast a part-time job while waiting to become a High School Teacher.

Cons

The only thing I see is that I am a contract or individual contractor of VT. I hope I can have the chance to become even a part-time employee of this great company.

Pros

Great company, very comprehensive training. Working from home is great, although it can get difficult at times. The management team goes above and beyond in providing everyone with the tools they need to be successful. It is an exciting time to be a part of Varsity Tutors. The company is growing rapidly, and the Online Platform for virtual tutoring is the best around.

Cons

- Hectic schedule, but working remotely helps!

Pros

Independent contractor relationship: flexible hours, direct contact with clients, more influence over my own success. A vibrant market of clients: access to new assignments is very reliable and predictable. Clients are motivated and accountable: partnering with them for their success is easy. The online meeting platform is satisfactory and improving. Online tutoring is practical. Tech support of online meetings is good (in my limited experience). We are delivering value to clients.

Cons

The compensation is not great for a professional data scientist, but see Pros, delivering value to clients. Tutors need to supply level 1 technical support to client. The platform is not technically as good as it should be (see Advice to management). Administrative errors can strain my relationship and ability to keep clients (See advice to managementrrors can strain my relationship and ability to keep clients (See advice to managementrrors can strain my relationship and ability to keep clients (See advice to management).
