A once great place to work, has suffered a complete fall from grace in the past 2 years. I'd give it 0 stars if I could - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso GlobalEnglish

Vantaggi

Compensation was market rate and the flexible hours and ability to work from home when needed were two of the very few things that are positives of working at the company and the only things that are keeping me there.

Svantaggi

The company has seen a radical shift in culture, primarily a result of HR "leadership" and acquisition of the behemoth that is Pearson. The unique corporate culture used to be one the companies biggest assets and now it is by far its biggest weakness. Personal vendetta's were the core reason for virtually all of the male senior management to be driven out of the company and replaced with an all female management team. The gender bias that has plagued this company for the last 18 months is palpable to anyone and everyone with two eyes. All departments were impacted negatively by the Pearson purchase and were downsized with the exception of HR. That department continues to grow in size for reasons unknown to everyone at the company and is by far the biggest source of water cooler talk on an almost daily basis.

Vantaggi

Very flexible schedule. I'm in the eastern U.S. and heir high demand hours are 5am to 11 am... if you work during this time, you'll get a nice full schedule. But since they have students from all around the world, you can get hours all throughout the day into the evening with no problem. It's very flexible, you don't have to stick to a rigid lesson plan. You "coach" the student along in their activities, encouraging them and helping them with difficulties along the way. You address their English needs such as an English presentation they are working on or an email they need help with. Or, if they want, you practice business small talk. I really like the flexibility. They have recently merged with Learnship so we'll see what changes come along.... but so far, so good!

Svantaggi

I have gaps in my schedule, which I'm not paid for and I'm not crazy about the fact that if students cancel more than 6 hrs before their class, I don't get paid. I'd prefer for it to be 12 hours. But, that unpredictability is to be expected in this line of work. Oh, and this isn't a problem for me, but it should be noted that they don't offer health insurance that I'm aware of.
