Pros

Working alongside fantastic teachers from many different walks of life. Teaching young children your native tongue is very rewarding.

Kontras

It is hard for to find the right words to express the downsides to Language Stars as my experience and how I have seen HR and management treat my fellow teachers and friends makes me so angry. I saw a dozen coworkers have to leave the US because Language Stars knowingly brought them over on the wrong visa in an effort to save money. The salary is a joke because they will tell you that you will earn a certain amount for full time employment but what they fail to reveal is that you will most likely only be working between 60 and 80 percent of a full schedule. If you do not ask the right questions they will never volunteer Information if it is to their benefit. There is a culture of fakeness encouraged by senior management that certain employees embrace undermining the usually positive work environment. There are no opportunities for professional development. This is a company that is thriving on the knowledge and skills of others whilst not recognizing that those things have a right to be adequately remunerated. This is a company that takes advantage of people and believes they should be grateful for it. This is a company that will use you and get rid of you at the drop of a hat. I hope that eventual readers will notice who is writing the positive reviews.

Pros

I was fortunate enough to work in 2 capacities with Language Stars. The first was as a center director during a period of launching new centers. Language Stars afforded me an opportunity to learn how to run a business in many aspects that included sales, finance, and operations. There are very few positions that allow someone to gain that breadth of experience in one position. As I am person who thrives on challenge, this new venture allowed me the opportunity to succeed and fail on numerous occasions. The senior management at Language Stars is extremely patient and allows the managers the opportunity to learn from mistakes, and to use these experiences to create plans that will bring in future success. I was also given the responsibility of running a nascent business as the regional director, and the amount of trust, freedom, and responsibility that senior management gave to me made my time in this position an incredible experience. Language Stars allowed me to help create systems, processes, and procedures. I was able to create the DNA of this business, and helped create a lasting legacy at the company. At Language Stars, you are able to work with an international team, and have more company wide impact, than many other similar positions.

Kontras

As the company grows, it gets harder to maintain the little things that made Language Stars great. It is good to focus on what will help Language Stars continue to make center directors and teachers continue to feel empowered as this was vital during the early years.
