Pros

-Locals were always friendly, even if they thought you were a sinner. -There are basically zero expectations on you aside from showing up to class. But I don't really see this as a "Pro". -For the area, the pay is quite generous (and a source of jealousy for the local staff, since they count your pay right in front of their faces). -Students are generally easy to control and take learning seriously enough to at least allow you to feel like more than a puppet.

Cons

-Parents pay good money for these classes, and at my branch, both students and staff often had to use cheap, black & white PHOTOCOPIES of the official books from EF. -Difficulty in securing a real work visa means that you may be in employment limbo for 6 months or more while you teach illegally. -The owner was constantly cutting corners to save money, at the expense of providing the kind of quality that the parents paid for an expected.
