VIPKid Employee Reviews

Great place to work in an environment of mutual respect.

VIPKID is a great opportunity for those who find a fit. The new payment structure has made part-time teaching with VIPKID less attractive. The work is fun and the organization is fine, until something that is not considered tragic prevents you from working on short notice.

One word: greedy. They lie about the possibility of pay raises and have "restructured" pay scale so much that I'm now making nearly half what I did last year. Many classes are poorly written and the "incentives" can only be described as insulting.

I enjoy working for VIP KID

Review from Admin Dept

I used to love working at VIPKid when they were a new and relatively small company, but as they've grown and gained stature in the corporate world they've become increasingly greedy and this has manifest by the way they've come to treat their employees as completely expendable commodities.

Willingness to listen a variety of viewpoints.

Friendly real people that care about the team

Review from Marketing Dept

I love working for this company

Review from Admin Dept

Fast answers to questions and emails.

Review from Sales Dept

They run a very wonderful company! It is so nice to work from home before my kids wake up!

Listening to teachers. Being less greedy. Designing better classes. Holding parents to and students to a higher standard that matches the demands they make of teachers.

The more the company grows and the more it becomes worth, the more they treat their employees as if they are expendable. I've worked for the company for four years and rather than receive raises as the company has grown, employees as a whole have seen a steady stream of pay and benefit cuts.

I think engaging new teachers and being more easily accessible would be really helpful starting out, especially with so many established teachers and it often feels we compete with one another for bookings.

They could work on empathy.

Review from Operations Dept

I like how I am paid for short-notice classes.

Review from Operations Dept

The bonuses are great per class! It encourages your teach more!

I'm a contractor, so my compensation isn't really a "package". That being said, I appreciate that if you work, you get paid, and that you get paid for showing up even if your student doesn't that day.

Review from Operations Dept

I like the bonus opportunities.

Review from Sales Dept

Decent pay for my work.

Review from Operations Dept

VIPKid has been chipping away at teacher pay since its CEO got greedy. Stop with the insulting "incentives" like tokens and dumbass paper cutouts. Give us more money.

The compensation does not justify the additional time required to prepare for class and to give feedback to the parents.

Review from Admin Dept

I feel very undervalued. Leadership constantly cuts employee compensation and expects employees to take it with a smile on their face.

No benefits are offered. We are not true employees but rather IC

Review from Sales Dept

Benefits would be better and I would feel valued

Review from Customer Support Dept

I love the facebook groups

Review from Admin Dept

The classes are one-on-one with a student, so you don't necessarily have "co-workers" in the traditional sense.

Community feeling and very personal

Review from Sales Dept

They have improved a lot over the 3 years that I have worked with them!

Everyone is an independent contractor so it makes it easy to get along and share ideas.

Review from Operations Dept

They need to offer better teacher support if they want to jeep any teachers worth their salt.

Figure stuff out without being helpless

Review from Customer Support Dept

We don't really work as a team since we are independent contractors.

Review from Product Dept

My coworkers are wonderful. No complaints.

Review from Operations Dept

The students are the only positive.

We love the students and the curriculum

Review from Admin Dept

The students are, for the most part, pretty well behaved and can be a lot of fun to work with.

Caring team of teachers who love to help each other

Review from Sales Dept

We get to have fun teaching kids to learn.

Review from Operations Dept

I don't think anything needs to change.

Review from Operations Dept

I had a chance to do it over!

Review from Admin Dept

Easy to complete with friendly interviewers

Review from Sales Dept

It is a very subjective interview process and it is very inconsistent in how they grade your teaching in the hiring process!

The video chat was helpful.

Review from Operations Dept

Making a demo video of a class

Review from Communications Dept

The interviewers are often people who haven't taught classes in a very long time. Sometimes they aren't even familiar with basic company policies. Despite a lengthy interview process it really doesn't prepare you very well to teach -- a common complaint among many of my co-workers.

More upfront explanation of what the job actually entails.

Review from Operations Dept

There was a lot of self-education and unpaid training to get the job in the first place.

Review from Operations Dept

more support and education during interview process

Review from Operations Dept

It takes too much time, and it is too discretionary.

Review from Sales Dept

Seeing the faces of the children

Review from Admin Dept

Seeing all my students and helping them learn

Review from Sales Dept

Getting my paycheck makes me happy

Review from Customer Support Dept

I love teaching the kids! They are so cute!

My students like learning and are happy to see me.

Review from Operations Dept

The pay is abysmal. Pay people more. We are professionals with degrees and experience. Stop squeezing us dry so you can keep getting wealthier at our expense.

I like being able to work from home and having flexibility

I would like to see them be more relaxed with emergencies and cancellations
