Pros

I really love working at SayABC I am now a fully booked teacher. I would say I enjoy their interactive platform. Their lessons are engaging and they are affiliated with National Geographic so also very educational. There is no drama with this organization of having to promote yourself and do over the top teaching to gain hours. If you prove yourself to be responsible and reliable plus of course work hard, you will be rewarded with hours. The salary is great and I enjoy the bonuses for unit completion and trial bonuses. Lastly, they are welcoming of all ethnicities provided you are a native speaker and meet the qualifications. This is wonderful to work at an all inclusive organization where your merit not your color dictates your success.

Cons

The con would be the onboarding. My interviewer was great, but he was late. Also, I felt a bit tested during my training session, which made it a bit stressful. I would prefer that the company had a bit more patience and time put into the training, because it is a new platform and some teachers need more time to digest it. I would also like to see some more ongoing training available so that we may improve as teachers. Initially there were challenges with communication, but this is no longer an issue. SayABC has improved significantly in this matter and are replying in a timely matter.

Pros

work from home working with children Full schedule for a while. Bonuses and Pay great platform.

Cons

There is a lack of communication from teacher support concerning schedule. I was with the company for a year and I absolutely loved it. I had a year of full schedule but recently NOTHING. As much as i would love to stay I have to move on and make money.

Not the same company that it used to be

Pros

Initially the pay was great, and the communication was much better, however the current company culture is much different than it used to be.

Cons

Expect to have your pay reduced by 20% with 1 weeks notice. They are advertising above $20+ pay for class, but you can only get $19 after all the incentives are applied. You also can get assigned trial classes where you HAVE to be on standby in front of your computer for 40 minutes and only get paid $5 for that. If you take a pee break during that standby or miss a call, you will be severely penalized. There is poor communication from management, where you are told about 20% pay reduction with only 1 weeks notice. Honestly, there are better companies to work for with better pay and more flexibility. It's not the same as it used to be.
