Pros

They have good benefits and compensation. Many holidays. When you added all up almost like a month off. People working at the main office are good and professional, but we work like a dog most of the time.

Cons

The training program for new staff needs more work. IT doesn't fit the need at all. The training program does not train people how to deal with average student. They only talk about excellent students. Whoever came up with this idea is quite stupid. They asked the staff to study student's background, such as their parents work. This is not practical. Simply because parents cannot be changed. Plus the majority is the mediocre students, but they have no idea how to help them. So they don't talk about it.

Pros

If you're invested in education, it's a great program to work in whether an early or seasoned professional.

Cons

Each center is different and work culture largely depends on the Center Instructor. Although the goals across centers is the same, you won't have a great time if you don't "click" with the Instructor.
