Pros

Materials are great! Very interactive and possibly the best I've seen for any company I've worked for. There is tons of support through Wechat for everything from payments to technical problems, which is much more efficient than communicating through email. They book you for classes that last anywhere from 2-4 months meaning your schedule is consistent. There are constantly classes up for grabs for substitutes (however they do get snatched up quick)

Cons

While your schedule is consistent, it is not flexible at all. You chose the hours you can work initially and then once they schedule you for those hours you are locked in, and when I say locked in I mean you have to ask for leave 3 months in advance . 3 MONTHS! If you are more than five minutes late, they charge you 20 DOLLARS late fee. That is insane to me. You have to teach 25 hours a month in order to get the bonus on top of the 7.50 per class. So even though I may be teaching five students in one class (especially if you are subbing) if they do not book you enough classes then you do not get the bonus. It's a new company, so I think they are still trying to figure out what works, so some slack should be cut for some of the disorganization and the fact that they hired too many teachers for the summer and had to put peoples schedules on hold.

Pros

I have been working with ALO7 for about four months now. I love working with the company for many valid reasons. As a former middle school teacher, ALO7 affords me the opportunity to create my own schedule so that I can stay home with my young child. I have been able to teach early mornings and be finished by the time my daughter wakes. Maybe best of all, gone are the hours of data collection and paperwork! My teaching hours are spent teaching! The lesson plans are very thorough and once I get into a rhythm, the class flow is easy. The courseware is excellent and the admin is constantly looking for ways to improve. The tech staff is also excellent and they respond in a timely manner. Another positive I did not anticipate is that there are many opportunities for professional growth. There are weekly meetings, and the Pili’s Playhouse page allows teachers to collaborate and give suggestions to others 24/7. I truly feel like part of a community! Furthermore, admin is willing to work with people on a one on one basis and give feedback for growth!

Cons

The only improvement needed is with the schedule. A week at a glance/month at a glance feature would be a welcomed addition. Also, it would be good to know when certain types of classes were being booked so that teachers could be booked for classes where they excel. Currently, teachers often fill their own time slots with classes not knowing what schools will be booking and when. This blocks availability for classes in which they may excel.
