Pros

Responsive and supportive by trainer. Informative of ways to improve income, updates or changes in company policies and issues. Fun platform.

Cons

Very unsupportive if there is a complaint or an issue. As a Chinese based company it is very robotic and they do not like to deal with problems. I have had issues that have been a struggle to resolve. Much of the platform is automatic and when there is a technical problem it is also difficult to resolve and most tech people with company do not understand English well though all teachers are native English speakers. Also, as a professional teacher I have learned it is best to not care too much about the students. Magic Ears is a business and appears the bottom line of business is more important than the interpersonal concerns. For me the students are the most important concern.

Pros

Pay is pretty good if you can commit to enough hours to earn bonuses

Cons

hours are Beijing time, so very early morning in the US They have switched to homeroom classes, so you can't just open your schedule on days you are available and get scheduled, which was what made this attractive before as a filler for when other jobs weren't as active
