Pros

From what I can tell, I haven't seen any yet..

Cons

The thing that made me the maddest is I was told the pay structure was different than what it really is. They say they are the "highest paying ESL company", which is a lie. As a teacher with a Master's degree in early childhood education, they only offered a base rate of 7.50. That is $1-$2 less than other companies I work for. They micromanage teachers and expect you to be like robots. Their mentality is "Never stop talking", even though higher rated companies and even ESL college courses tell you to cut down on the incidental language.

Pros

Pay is pretty good if you can commit to enough hours to earn bonuses

Cons

hours are Beijing time, so very early morning in the US They have switched to homeroom classes, so you can't just open your schedule on days you are available and get scheduled, which was what made this attractive before as a filler for when other jobs weren't as active
