I wanted to love this company, but things weren’t quite as they seemed. - Recensione dipendente - Teacher presso Magic Ears

Teachers are highly micromanaged. Staff is overly involved with social media groups. Teachers aren’t allowed to create groups (eg. “ME single moms”, “ME homeschoolers”) without a staff member being a part of the group. They guarantee bookings, but you have to move up in their ranking system in order to increase bookings. This ranking system does not seem to be understood my most teachers (how and when you rank up, etc.) They appear to show favoritism to certain “star teachers.” Classes are not confirmed until 10 pm Beijing time each day, so teachers don’t know their schedules until <24 hours before their first class of the day. Teachers are required to log in 8-10 minutes before their first class of the day, which makes it difficult to work for another company in conjunction with Magic Ears. They have a “Zero tolerance for noise” policy that is nearly impossible to achieve with 4 students in a class. They allow ONLY positive comments and questions about the company in their social media groups. I have seen people get kicked out of groups for mildly challenging or questioning certain things.
