Pros

The work environment was very support among co-workers. In-house courses could be subsidised.

Cons

staff were given 0€ salary cheques on closure of the academy instead of being dismissed and compensated.

Avoid toxic stressful environment

Pros

Some of the teachers are friendly and will help each other out, although others have an air of superiority and would rather let a co-worker sink than offer some advice or helping hand.

Cons

Management keep this facade of "IH brand is far superior to other schools" but really the school is a s**t show. Constant changes of classes. Not enough space in the staff room . The staffroom itself is HECTIC and a horrible place to be to try and prepare for class or take a break. The one printer for the enitrie school with 50 or so teachers having up to 15 students per class is a joke and constantly broken and beeping for attention. Meetings are held during your break on a Friday and are unpaid. There's a lot expected with little support and quite a bit if sass and attitude from those in management or supervisor positions. Really toxic behaviour and culture established considering they are delusional if they think they are professional or better than any other school.
