Pros

Easy at telling lies.. They hire south African criminals and con artists. The owner of the viet brand of this company is in the mafia/goverment so he cant be touched at all.

Cons

Everything about this brand is a hoax. If you have any little bit of respect for yourself and your family don't even dare work for a company that mistreats both local and foreign staff. Everyone that is part of this company is racist

Thanks for your commentary. We're not entirely sure what position you held with APAX nor what your specific issues working with us have been, but we work with a very diverse range of teachers from many different backgrounds and all walks of life. Hundreds of teachers from all over the world have found working with APAX to be rewarding and worth sticking around for - in some cases, for years of their lives. This has not changed during such a challenging time in history. This is deeply encouraging for every single member of staff at APAX and, hopefully, the students and parents too. While it can be very easy for the pandemic to overshadow all the incredible work being done every day for the last year and beyond, our abilities to respond proportionately will echo into the future for far longer, professionally and personally.

Pros

This is a great place to work for any person new to teaching. For those that have experience or are eager to gain more skills, there are a lot of opportunities for advancement. While Apax is not perfect, everyone continuously tries to make it a better place to work and improve themselves. There is a big focus on feedback and growth. As long as you stay open, you will gain a lot.

Cons

I don't see this as a con, however, coming into this company, it's important to keep in mind that you will need to stay flexible. This was tough for me in the beginning. However I am incredibly grateful to have gained this from my experience with Apax.

Thanks for your feedback - we very much appreciate the positive vibes at such a chaotic and demoralising time for all! Let's hope we can get back to being the biggest and boldest English education company in Vietnam in 2021 once this pandemic fades a bit.

Pros

No lesson prep. They have some shady connections with the government that allow them to get people in the country.

Cons

They are months late on pay, the staff is generally incompetent on every level and lie constantly. You too most likely will contribute to that culture of inefficiency, as they will give you zero support and let you rot unaided. This means you'll have a hard time smiling while singing the "Hello Song."

Thank you for your feedback. To date (June 2021), there is no outstanding pay for teachers from 2020 or the first quarter of 2021. Almost all of April's salary payments have been paid out, and a portion of May is to be made imminently. If a staff member suffers hardship of any kind, s/he is strongly recommended to make contact with her/his manager immediately.
