Pros

Pay is okay, hours are fixed.

Cons

Nobody gets proper benefits from this school. You can lose your job without a notice and get nothing. There's no job security and no growth.

Declining morale and teaching quality

Teacher

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You will be exposed to a variety of work and people and you will learn a lot.

Cons

Extremely low pay compared to competitors. Long hours even though work/life balance is stressed. Because of that, teachers are demotivated and not working hard, and it is affecting the quality of their teaching. Administration seem to be focused in the wrong areas, should be addressing the compensation issue and bringing in higher level people to help with the workload and should be looking to fix outdated technology.
