Great place to work? Not for tutors. - Tutor Link-Systems International Employee Review

Pros

Relaxed office environment (super casual dress code is nice, esp. in Florida weather), free coffee, flexible scheduling and vacation policy.

Cons

Outdated technology (computers run WinXP with old versions of MS Office unable to open new file formats), no internet access (severely limited by proxy server to a "whitelist" of only a few mostly useless websites; no Google), Stone Age business practices (no HR staff, manual clocking in/out, no employee access to payroll or employment records, no direct deposit or mailing of paychecks), inaccessible/unapproachable managers, inadequate training for new employees, meager wages with no differential pay for advanced academic credentials or experience, few opportunities for advancement (no raises or salaried opportunities for wage earners). Consequently, no tutor has been here more than a few years, and there seems to be a very high turnover rate in the content department as well.

Thank you for your review. It’s great to see that you’ve highlighted some positives, like flexible schedules, the vacation policy, and a casual office environment. You seem to be misinformed about some LSI policies. As our tutoring operations are online, there is Internet access, and the proxy server ensures the security of information. If access to a particular website is needed, you are encouraged discuss it with your supervisor. Access is reviewed and granted routinely. LSI maintains an open-door policy with regards to management, as outlined in the handbook. The tutor managers’ offices are located within the tutoring lab, and tutors are encouraged to go to their supervisors at any time with ideas or concerns. The training and pedagogy are aligned to several national academic tutoring organizations. We’ve shared your feedback with the appropriate teams and wish you all the best in your professional career.

Thank you for your review. We’re happy to read that you appreciate our student-centered approach to online tutoring. We also believe tutoring should be fun and educational. As NetTutor is open 24 hours a day, every day of the year, contractors may log in at any time to accumulate hours. Our tutoring work flow generally follows traditional semester patterns, and volume depends on student usage. We wish you continued success in your career.
