Cons
The highest demand for my language is late at night and in the middle of the night, so my sleep schedule is all messed up. Bright lights and screens make my eyes tired and irritated. Hours can be reduced significantly, despite good job performance Sometimes substitute hours are available, and sometimes they aren't, or they're only in the middle of the night. I haven't received a pay raise in over a year and a half. Quality Assurance reviews can vary greatly based on who's doing them, and there's no bonus for getting good QA scores or positive customer reviews. There was a bonus for employees who regularly worked more than 20 hrs/wk, but since Studio Coaches aren't allowed to work that much, we didn't get any bonuses. P/t job only, with little opportunity for career advancement Only several minutes break between sessions, so it's not hardly enough to go to the bathroom No health benefits Not enough hours scheduled
