Pros

I started in 2014 in Jakarta for the Swara group. It was fun in the classroom but dealing with management was impossible, to say the least.

Cons

They promised visas but never actually got any......immigration raids were constant and they would tell new teachers that they would be getting visas GUARANTEED but never actually provided any. Work would start in a public school in the mornings and often end at 9 o clock at night. ....teachers would often suffer from exhaustion.
