    What’s it like working at Weblio Philippines Inc.?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Weblio Philippines Inc. offers some attractive features including flexible working hours that allow tutors to manage their own schedules, consistently polite and kind Japanese students, and provision of necessary equipment and internet allowance for work-from-home setup. These aspects make it particularly suitable for those seeking schedule flexibility in online teaching.

    However, employees face several challenges including a low salary structure with limited increases, strict management practices with high penalties and inconsistent administrative support, limited career advancement opportunities, and an unpredictable booking system that can involve last-minute changes. The company's strong focus on student satisfaction sometimes comes at the expense of tutor support and development.

    No career growth, no benefits, you're on your own.
    The good thingsFlexible hours, Japanese students are nice and kind but they will leave reviews to you if they did not like you after lessons lol
    The challenges1. They can easily terminate your contract once you have missed your 3 lessons consecutively. 2. No career growth, no HMO 3. They don't value tutors, they only value students. 4. Too strict, they monitor your lessons and if they caught you yawning a bit, they will ask you to do coaching sesh

    Talk about Power of Friendship and Customer is always right. 🤷
    The good thingsEquipment provided, 1 day personal leave monthly.
    The challengesPromotions don’t seem to be based on effort or performance—it's all about who’s friends with who. If you’re not in their inner circle, don’t expect fair treatment. The workload isn’t balanced at all; some people are swamped while others have it easy, and the pay doesn’t make up for it. Leaders don't listen to you AT ALL. They are just after the title, not the workload. Unfair treatment to the tutors. Penalty here and there. They don't investigate classes thoroughly. Prioritizes customers TOO MUCH.
