Pros

You will get to work with the most supportive and helpful staff members. Some very lovely students

Cons

The absolute worst managers you could imagine. The British Council School is so poorly managed that staff turnover is incredibly high. 5 members of the English department quit this year. Ridiculously high workload which is exacerbated by so many pointless admin tasks which are there just to make a pretence that the school cares about its students. It doesn't. It cares about their parents money and nothing else. Entitled, rude students are becoming the norm and the school turns a blind eye to all of this. An atmosphere of fear prevails. Teachers are terrified that they will be fired if they so much as look at the wrong person in the wrong let alone suggest that there could be better ways to do thing. During my time I saw many colleagues fired with absolutely NO warning whatsoever and the school seems to delight in doing this.
