Pros

- Work from Home - Teaching curriculum already done and prepared, no need to prepare entire lessons - The carrot system to cancel classes hassle free

Cons

- Getting raises & "ranking up" in teacher status is based on an O.P.V made up of factors out of teacher control such as getting trial students in your classes, and them converting to being Magic Ears students after completing your class. - Also part of the OPV is student ratings - out of 5 stars. It's literally small children assigning subjective star ratings and leaving gibberish comments like "alkjhasdgjbadg" that are deciding your ability to get a raise. Non-justified 1-star ratings that pull down your OPV are never cleared away by Magic Ears. It's demoralizing and disrespectful for students.

Pros

Pay is pretty good if you can commit to enough hours to earn bonuses

Cons

hours are Beijing time, so very early morning in the US They have switched to homeroom classes, so you can't just open your schedule on days you are available and get scheduled, which was what made this attractive before as a filler for when other jobs weren't as active
