Poor materials and inconsistent workload - Online English Teacher British Council Employee Review

Teachers are not allocated lessons. Available lessons are made available about 6 weeks in advance and there is a free-for-all as all the teachers try to grab as many lessons as they can. It's like feeding time at the zoo. If you are late, you can end up with a very light schedule some weeks later. They are constantly advertising for new teachers, but there is not enough work for the existing teachers. The PowerPoint lessons are created by other teachers. Some are OK, but many are awful, filled with mistakes, badly structured and painfully dull.
