Summer course is rough - expect long hours and an exhausting schedule, and the bonus pay is a joke. Management is not always sympathetic, and quality varies widely from school to school. Difficult to take leave time, especially for more than a week. Schools always feel understaffed.

-Low starting salary, and it goes up slowly -Teacher evaluations should be more frequent -Work on weekends and evenings -Managers at some centers act tyrannical, and there is not a good system in place to put checks on them. If you have a good manager, your life will be great, if you have a bad manager, your life will be horrible. -Management can be disorganized and has problems communicating throughout the organization, sometimes changes things too much or too often! (One communication issue: I was told that the work week is 40 hours, then I found out that our 1 hour lunch was not counted as one of those 40 hours, so you are actually required to work 45 hours a week, 9 hours a day, not 8 hours a day. It's a little thing, but it should have been spelled out more clearly, and I was a bit annoyed that I didn't find that out until after getting to China)
