Pros

great way to destroy your soul

Cons

low salary 8 hours a day 6 days a week teaching hours low but random admin duties just keep getting added to teachers job with no extra benefit. They more often that not pay late. expected to drop any personal commitments you have to take on their classes anytime between 7am and 9pm whenever they ask you too. - the reason I don't work there any more.

Great opportunities, cool working environment with international colleagues. You have the chance to choose and conduct projects that interest you since they believe employees will perform better when they like what they are doing.

Sometimes working hours can be long, but well valued and compensated

Pros

Full arrival support, good salary (I can live comfortably and save in Shanghai), company expects more from employees than other esl positions so the offer more events and freebies

Cons

Changes can sometimes happen with little to no notice (sometime the fault of the company, sometimes the country, but the company must do things by the book so the hardship sometimes falls on the employee (be flexible)
