Pros
Fellow teachers are nice people. Students appreciate learning in the majority of cases.
Cons
The curriculum is outdated with many grammar and spelling errors within the books. The internet portion of the lessons do not correspond to the books. For example, section D3 is really D1. Very poor design. (From a franchisee perspective): There is no functional HR or legal department under the franchisee and you will receive no assistance from the corporate recruiter. Your contract will no be fulfilled by the company. In other words, what is promised is not delivered. (Lack of integrity): You will be asked to falsify records for test results. Students that don't complete exams will still graduate as long as their bills are paid. Student retention is falsified as students that leave are still in the system showing "swapped". Some students never receive the books they pay for and only photocopies of the texts which violates copyright laws. Teachers are not given suitable login credentials and are asked to share logins for teaching tools and tracking. (Serious allegations): When a student makes a serious allegation of sexual assault against another student nothing is done by management to solve the problem. (Lack of credentials): There are teachers that have no experience and no college degree. Academic managers hold meetings on topics with no qualifications while making innapropriate remarks that are immoral and unethical. (Occupational health): The facility would be condemned in any developed nation by the health department. Water leaks from the ceiling with visible mold. Teachers and students are constantly sick. Students are unable to focus on the lesson when scratching their eyes and skin. The bathrooms are unusable. The air conditioners do not work consistently and are never cleaned. Sewer gas is constantly being vented into the building from the air conditioners. (Safety): When the electricity goes out there is no generator. We are asked by management to take students off campus crossing 3 roads of traffic with large groups of students of various age groups. I have informed both the management of the franchise and corporate EF via my recruiter whom is a manager. You will not have time to travel, nor will you receive any valuable development, as they will offer you an exam with no training course. You will be asked and expected to break the law and will be lied to both on paper and in-person regarding work permits, compensation, benefits, and days off.
