Pros

Most of the staff and teachers were great people and awesome to work with. This is a workplace where you interact with so many people from other cultures.

Cons

The boss completely ruins the experience for everyone who works there. I didn't know a single person who liked him. He treats his staff like slaves while pretending he's a saint. Had he not been in charge, I would have loved working here, but he is unreasonable, ignorant, and egotistical. The things he makes the receptionists do are absolutely ridiculous; from spraying febreeze after he uses the bathroom to making them run all over town to do personal errands for him, he treats them like his personal assistants (which they are not, and were not told in the interview they would be doing such tasks), and when they are not around, he recruits other staff to do his bidding. Many of the people who have left this company left solely because of him. This business is an unfortunate example of how a great business can suffer deeply from poor management.
