Pros
1. There are many supportive colleagues at your center who help you adjust to life in China. 2. There are ample opportunities to develop your teaching style through Continuous Professional Development Sessions as well as Distance Learning Courses. 3. Social events with colleagues from different EF Products make networking very easy.
Cons
1. Sometimes the schedules deviate from the traditional 9-5 job. However, some centers allow teachers to work at home or change their shift every few months to maximize flexibility. 2. The pay is adequate to live a privileged lifestyle in any of China's major cities. However, it can be difficult to save up a lot of money over the course of one contract due to the increasing costs of rent and travel in China.
