Pros

Some nice people and pay can be good for some roles. Autonomy with work, good breadth and exposure to senior leadership. The product has potential.

Cons

The company strategy and direction is non existent, setting up a strategy which can’t be delivered. The direction from leadership is vague and constantly changing to try and hit targets so generally it’s very chaotic. Each quarter they say ‘we need to focus on fewer things’, then continue to say the same the next quarter after failing to do so. There is not really any culture in the office, and I disagree with some leadership styles and attitudes.

Great team, product and workflow. Awesome benefits as well

Really none at all. I can’t think of anything that stands out.

Pros

- The new management is very nice and understanding. - I've noticed that even when I provide all the necessary information when canceling a lesson, they still have to repeat steps, likely due to company policy. - The only reason I stay is because I absolutely love my students. - It can be challenging to find a job without a degree in the TEFL industry

Cons

-Asked for a raise, completely ignored me. -Very difficult to cancel lessons. -Don't know how well you're doing as a teacher so you're in constant "competition" with other teachers to keep your position. -I've heard that they can fire you without any notice or reason. -Changed policy that you can only do 25 hours per week
