      Pros

      good place to get experience,

      Cons

      the working hours to say the least suck, since it's an English center you are expected to be working from 12pm to 8pm although classes usually start at 3pm , 430 pm, or 630 pm- class times range from 1hr, 1hr 20 min and 3 hrs on week ends. As a native teacher you're first two months you will be expected to work 6 days a week with just one day off. after that you will get an extra day off. Pay in Indonesia is usually low about 850- 900$ a month relative to the median wage its decent but there are better places to teach English and make money. You only get 10 days paid leave and a handful of holidays.

      Thank you for sharing your experience. It's great to hear that you feel you are gaining good experience. Regarding the working hours and schedule, due to the nature of our industry it's important that we schedule classes on evenings and weekends as they are the peak times. We ask teachers to start work at 12:00 so there is enough time to prepare for classes. We recognize that work-life balance and having a sense of community in centers are important for many of our teachers. We are currently working hard to minimize 6-day work weeks and ensure there is more than one International Teacher in each center.

      Pros

      NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING

      Cons

      I have nothing positive to say about EFAP. I can write a whole novel on how immoral and unethical they are. They do not understand education and are utterly incompetent with academic material and leadership they are a disgrace. Universities and Students deserve much better than this horse and monkey show that they have.

      Pros

      The kids and others I worked with were wonderful. I loved being able to experience China.

      Cons

      The company knows you are there for a year and is not trying to keep you there. The pay is less than you can get with other Teaching jobs in China.

We'd be interested to hear more about your experience specifically and encourage you to send an email to teacher.feedback@ef.com so we can discuss further.
