Pros
You will enjoy the casual environment and the close, personal contact with the teachers and students. There is such a diverse population, so you will get to meet people from all over the world from all walks of life which will make it a super exciting job. Truly, this company has been so lucky to attract some the most professional, dedicated teachers and it is rewarding just to work with them. Also, there is plenty of free candy, coffee, and tea!
Kontras
The greatest disappointment in working for this company is that for all the great potential for growth and expansion, it is stagnant and you can only expect to hit a glass ceiling the day you start working there. Given the authoritarian style of management of the company, employee and teacher development is completely lacking and all decisions are made with the end goal of protecting the management's personal ego instead of choosing the best option/suggestion/idea for the company's success. Furthermore, because of this extreme need for control, the company is totally disorganized and many important tasks are left undone. The management shows a lack of confidence and respect for their employees and furthermore, has expressed distrust in the team of teachers, which I know is their most precious resource. Unfortunately, this has begun to push away several teachers that had been so loyal and supportive of the school in the past. Sadly, this is not the attitude of every member of the management team, but it is the way of the member that exercises all the deciding power. On several occasions, this member has been known to yell at and berate some of the office staff and makes a very obvious distinction in the treatment of the teachers depending on their nationality. Personally, it was difficult to witness all this because I came in every morning, worked my heart out, cried my eyes out from all the effort I would put in and was met with aggression, a total lack of appreciation, and nothing but obstacles to meeting company goals as well as my own. Little by little, this chipped away at my passion for what I had believed the company represented until I had nothing to offer them any more and I left of my own accord.
