Pros

good pay-rate, no micro-managing (pun intended), easy to use booking system/interface , all the IT staff are polite

Kontras

The longer I worked there-- the longer it took for me to get paid (In my case-- as well as most teachers cases you get paid through your recruiter) Near the end, it was 2 months after working a shift that you'd get paid. I'm also pretty sure that it's the most disorganized company that I've ever worked for-- it's like working for a sack full of cats. Sometimes the staff are responsive-- sometimes not. It's a crap shoot. But their biggest weakness by far, is that I suspect they might be in the process of going bankrupt. There are quite a few warning signs ex- high turnover in both teachers + Chinese staff, strange shift request (I received a request to work 20 classes one time) and many teachers haven't been paid for months-- When Microlanguages finally does close their doors, I imagine quite a few teachers will be out a couple months salary. :(

Pros

- (Structured) Flexibility - Good pay rate -Great students -Mostly helpful co-workers -Room for growth

Kontras

-Fluctuating contracts, high penalties and secrecy regarding differing payscales (under penalty of termination). Penalties seem to be assigned based on the whim of admin rather than the severity of the infraction. -Lack of communication from leadership regarding ongoing policy changes, HR problems and employee dissatisfaction. ( WHEN there are problems with payments -- you'll likely have to chase down HR and send multiple messages before it is resolved. Teachers ARE paid -- but it's not unusual that payments are several days (or in a few cases) several months late.) -Positive reinforcement of dishonest and sycophantic behavior -Fluctuating classes due to over hiring and growth goals that don't match the current demand for classes -Little room for instructor growth or secondary positions. The company sees growth as something that comes from hiring from outside rather than growing from within -Allotted classes (group classes, 1 on 3 classes, demo classes) are assigned by admin based on the "look" of the instructor rather than teaching/ English language talent. ( So, if you're blond haired, blue-eyed and younger -- or, just male, welcome!) -Teaching materials are poorly edited and too short. You'll need to have extra materials in order to teach a full class.
