Pros

Good students and if your coworkers don't drink the Kool aid, you meet cool people. Literally nothing else.

Cons

Abusive hours, environment, management. The most toxic place I've ever worked. Also! If you're working or planning on working in China, training centers like EF are being banned and heavily regulated. A lot of the centers are going bankrupt or moving out, but I know EF will try to drain everything and everyone dry before it quits. There's racism left and right, the only reason you don't work the 7-12 is because nobody from overseas would agree to it (7 days a week, 12 hours a day shift), they try to get close though. Management will lie to you, restrict your movements, time off, and make moving to another job in China difficult/impossible. The illegal practices of not signing cancellation letters, keeping documents away from foreign employees, ignoring child abuse, hiring undocumented or unqualified foreign and local employees. Not worth the 10k rmb paycheck (any other training center or school will pay two or three times that)
