How employees describe working at VIPKid
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.
Friendly real people that care about the team
