Business Outlook

Pros

- the work itself isn't hard. - some nice coworkers - you will get paid, even if it's not everything you're owed

Cons

- teachers spend all their time doing (terrible) marketing events to attract more students because enrollment is dropping. - some of the teachers do not speak English - the actual classes are an afterthought - local teachers should be really up-to-date on what they legally deserve because E1 will try to screw you out of it.
