Pros

Flexible hours and time zones

Cons

Terrible teacher support and harsh penalties, a parent’s unhappiness means more to them than 3 years of nearly daily service and baseless accusations and claims

Pros

Job is fun. Students are great. Salary is real time. Flexible work hours. Can take leaves anytime as long as I follow 10-day rule to avoid penalties.

Cons

Sometimes the platform experiences some technical issues.

Pros

Very friendly group of people. Good place to start out your ESL career and gain some experience of the industry.

Cons

Low pay. Treat teachers like children. Constant focus on renewal and innovation instead of perfection of what they have. Huge company so you are a very expendable.
