Pros

Amslink is an absolute pleasure of a school to work for. From start to finish my experience there was great. They give very in depth, adequate, training - allowing you to understand both their fundamentals and giving great pointers on how to improve yourself as a teacher. All of the office staff instantly made me feel at home despite being so far away from my actual one. They are all very caring and helpful, never making you feel like you are disposable (like many other schools in the ESL teaching world). Pay is good and inline with the average for a city in Vietnam - with an opportunity to earn through other opportunities and incentives. I'd highly recommend this school to teachers.

Cons

No cons from what I experienced. Just long weekends which is to be expected at any private school.

Pros

Amslink is very welcoming in the beginning and provides great training. You have at least 1 Vietnamese teaching assistant with you in every class to help with translating, behavior issues, and tech support. They try to work with the teachers to give them a good schedule which I really appreciated. Also there's a lot of support for writing lesson plans. Teachers are provided with books, reference lesson plans, and a syllabus to help guide them. Makes teaching the material pretty easy.

Cons

Amslink is a for-profit English center. That often made it feel like the money was more important to them than the work or the teachers. Expect to be told you are wrong and the parent is always right. Communication was another big issue, information is given out pretty late and sometimes incorrectly. Double check your own pay, number of days off, etc to make sure the numbers are accurate. Do your research to make sure you are getting paid fairly as well. Like I said earlier, they are trying to make a profit and you may need to fight for a fair salary. Finally, Amslink does have the right to cancel classes and change your schedule whenever they want. This can be frustrating when your days off are changed or your classes are changed every few months. It makes it hard to build steady relationships with the students.
