Pros

-Has the easiest JOB ENTRANCE EXAM -Most of the students are polite and decent unlike if you are teaching Korean and Chinese, there are only few who belong to that category. -Easy to handle students if you know how to please them. (Pleasing vs learning actually)

Cons

This is TRUE: > ADMIN. If you have questions, the staff responds promptly. They are short for words, though--they only reply just for the sake of replying. I believe that the responses are copy-pasted to the point that your questions were not really answered. You cannot win if you have disputes in terms of pay or class disruption and penalties. RATINGS/LESSON EVALUATION -Teacher's evaluation rating isn't fair. It's way too subjective. You'll be rated 5 star if you'll satisfy your student regardless if you're good or not. What comes first is pleasing the students. If you can't please them, you'll never have a good review and not having a good review will generally mean that you're not worthy of the student's reservations; thus, you'll have a lower income. RULE REINFORCEMENT -They have selected few which rules don't apply to them. TAX REMITTANCE -Just so you know, our signatures in our Income Tax Return were forged. We complained and they said it was a mistake. Our incentives are all taxable. They don't apply the non-taxable ones in ours. They add all of your incentives and your basic pay altogether. Then, they deduct your income tax from there. -When you ask questions for clarifications, they'll just say : go to Bureau of Internal Revenue. Their HR staff and accounting staff really aren't doing their function.

Pros

Job opportunity for people who don't have a degree. They supply videos for you to familiarize yourself with the different lessons. Their communication has a quick turnaround.

Cons

Videos cannot actually prepare you for doing the actual lessons. Some sort of interactive system is needed to prepare teachers better for conducting the actual lessons. Communication method on the interface is a bit confusing - I cannot see which messages are unread-even when I toggle the icon to "unread messages"

Pros

1. Very flexible platform 2. No minimum hours required 3. mostly polite students 4. lesson material provided

Cons

1. The salary is pathetic and it is a shame they are still paying that same rate since they started. 2. They recently introduced a feature where you can adjust your rate but the requirements you should meet first are almost impossible to achieve. 3. very long waiting hours, too many teachers, very few students 4. a biased rating system that punishes teachers
