Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent development opportunities. The work is not easy, but survival makes employees stronger. This school was once dubbed the "training camp" for new ESL teachers. Additional degrees and certifications available in-house, though due to time or personal reasons, most employees do not make use of them. Tough times make strong people.

Cons

The work is not easy, and the salary is less competitive. Working conditions are often excessively difficult (new teacher teaching 16 students alone, in 38 degree weather, for 2 hours, only 6 hours advance notice). There are very limited ways of working one's way up in the company. The "business" side of the company often overpowers the "service" side (the education).

Pros

Friendly colleagues. Good working environment. The salary is not much, but satisfying anyway. In addition they provide a lot of training.

Cons

The turnover rate is very, very high. You just see your colleagues come and go. I think it's harmful for the company's growth in the long run.
