      Great reputable company to teach, lot of new opportunities

      Pros

      - Good way to transition abroad. My move to China went smoothly as they took care of all the paperwork and logistics for me. - Safe work visa situation. I have some friends at other companies who had to do visa runs on illegal tourist visas or were deported - not a situation I would ever want to be in. I can travel freely in and out of China on my Z work visa, which is provided by the company. - Great colleagues from all over - Training programs. I just completed the IDLTM and highly recommend the course as it's not offered at anywhere else in China - Lots of mobility. Can transfer to other cities in China and there are new job opportunities within the company that come up every month

      Cons

      - Difficult parents/students - takes time to get used to communicating, but there is a huge culture gap at times - More hours in the summer, so less time to take a holiday during that season

      Great Job, Not a great company

      Senior english teacher

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Interesting people working with you, the teachers are great. Good potential for moving up the ladder, at least when I was there. Chance to gain different experience in different depts. Some good teacher training, however this is mostly scrapped now.

      Cons

      Terrible working hours and little respect for staff Little coherence internally: Total mismatch of pro ported values and actual actions Appalling management attitudes at the top, continual change for changes sake Business trumps education High turnover of staff, real imbalance in fairness between Chinese and Western staff-though this is changing

      Pros

      The workplace is genial, the lessons well-structured, and the bureaucracy isn't too much of a pain.

      Cons

      Salary is competitive with local salaries, but not international ones, but the cost of living is higher than it should be. Very comfortable job for a year or two, but not much to grow with.
