Pros
Wonderful students, I've had many of the same students for over 2years -Company provided lesson plans make the job less stressful.
Kontras
-No respect for teachers or contract law - even after 2 years here my once fair contract has changed twice (not for the better) in the past 6 months - Pay rates for teachers across the board have fallen and incremental, negotiable pay rises have been replaced by 'inxentive' schemes which are deliberately very difficult to understand and hard to achieve consistently. - Fair pay and standby time have gone by the wayside in place of harsh teacher fines. For example if I am legitimately sick and have to cancel six classes and do not give 24hrs notice I get fined approx 30dollars on top of losing my days wage.. - the 'up to 25 dollar an hour' tagine is a lie, average wage is 17 dollars an hour, as above standard and no negotiable pay rises for long term, reliable employees - There is no meaningful support for teachers, I have flagged issues with courseware many times to benefit my students and receive automated responses - as of the past year wages are paid late with no apologies, this month I have waited for my wages 4 days overdue and this seems to be getting worse every month - referral scheme is by and large bogus -, teachers literally get less than 2 minutes between classes so going to the toilet is basically prohibited!
