Vantaggi

You form meaningful contacts with your students.

Svantaggi

Very controlling, limiting growth opportunities. The program always has technical difficulties. It has really bad pay. The classes are really draining to teach. The material is so dull and uninteresting, They repeat the same course ware over and over and it is a really low standard. The department in charge of you don't care about your welfare at all. There is no appreciation. They just want you to be their teaching robot and there is nothing to be gained other than some measly wages. There are zero benefits. You can't even take a day off when you choose. You have to wear an ugly purple t-shirt that says "I love Vipx" even if you don't love them.

We apologize for the negative experience you've had with us. We understand that this type of job can be very demanding and requires a level of emotional investment that many find draining. It is with regret that we acknowledge the occasional technical troubles our teaching software encounters, but as an in-house product, we greatly value feedback like yours to help polish its performance in our continuous updates. Feedback is something we value greatly, and we are sorry to hear you did not feel your input or teaching contribution was appreciated. We have already taken strides to improve the standard of our courseware based on suggestions from teachers, students, and parents. Many opportunities for professional growth have also become available in the past year with our company expansion, although the high calibre of candidates often make applications competitive (an unfortunate fact, but one that also inspires us as it reflects positively on the quality of you, our teaching team). To address your final concerns, we are proud to confirm that our teaching pay is among the higher teaching rates in the online ESL industry. As for time off, we function on a semester-long schedule much like brick and mortar schools, it does mean that leave requests must be made at appropriate times according to our yearly calendar. We are sorry that you did not have a more rewarding time with us, and we hope you have better luck finding a career that is more suited to your needs.

Vantaggi

Good course ware and students.

Svantaggi

This is one of those companies with Draconian attendance policies. They expect "100% attendance" . I did not request any leave for an entire year, not one class. When I finally did due to a surgery I had to have they gave me a very hard time about it. I was shocked. I also needed to request missing one other class because my father was in the hospital and had no one to take him home..they denied my request. The absence that I had to take for my surgery caused my "attendance rate" to go below their ridiculous threshold that you need to get a raise so therefore I was not eligible-despite the fact that I had over a 90% student retention rate for a year! When they denied my request to help my father, that was enough and I quit. They also ask you to participate in a ton of extra work that is unpaid, like extremely comprehensive student reviews, contests etc They say that if you participate you will get more points toward a raise-like blackmail. I would not recommend this company because of this. There are many others that give more flexibilty. Don't waste your time getting stuck with a company that makes obtaining a raise so difficult.

We’re alarmed to learn that you had such a negative experience at VIPX, particularly because it is company policy to prioritize time off for the types of leave you have described. This situation has been brought to the attention of administration and is currently under review ensure future teachers do not face similar conditions. If you would like to send us additional information about your experiences, please send an email to support@vipx.com. As for the extra workload that you described, though participation in company incentive programs does not go unnoticed, they are not the only path to raises or promotions. The occasional contests we host are entirely optional, meant only to inspire a sense of company culture and provide the opportunity to earn financial bonuses. We regret that they made you feel undue pressure to participate; we will adjust our announcements in future to make that clearer. Thank you for your honest review, and best of luck in your future endeavors.
