What did you like most about the interview process?We were given the chance to make our own "Mock Lesson" for the recruiter, I chose to write about Passive/Active sentences and it was cool!
What makes you most happy at work?Meeting people from different cultures!
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?They're always discussing plans for the class sessions, and love to talk about holidays/festivities. I really enjoyed seeing all of the cute Star Wars stuff yesterday! :)
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?I would like to be paid more than $12, and have atleast some health benefits. Theyre a very big company, and I know they're capable of offering something aside from the 401k.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?There is no ability to promote as a tutor. You must study your lesson material (vocabulary words, concepts) ahead of time to be prepared for tutor sessions. Up to six learners can be in your sessions - which can be stressful. Also Rosetta Stone is open 24/7 so no holidays off, or no pay.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?Pay the tutoring staff more and offer full-time positions for tutoring staff. Many tutors can only work up to 10 hours a week with no health benefits.
