Pros

If you're a good teacher, they need you more than you need them. Once you prove your worth, you can take on fewer classes to give yourself time for private students. Good way to get into the country. Friendly co-workers

Cons

Low salary Foreigner teachers can't be promoted Foreigners not viewed as members of the organisation Huge divide between upper management and teachers - difficult to contest decisions since you can't talk to the people making them Sales force will lie to clients about teachers' experience, and those teachers are expected to continue lying to those clients. Furthermore, sometimes the sales people will forget to tell the teacher that they lied and the teacher gets blindsided They sometimes break the terms of their own employment contract if it benefits them Lots of time spent on the metro

Pros

Trying to automate everything - Very very very easy interview process - Friendly recruiter (but dont get taken in) - Individually, staff can be helpful, but the culture is controlled by management. Big contrast!

Cons

__ Zero mgt contact __ Staff hiding behind the company name to become anonymous __ Former native teacher Testimonials on the website - mysteriously keep updating themselves and I’ve not seen nor heard of any of them at the company in 2017, so all of these references are out of date __ Contract - put your lawyers hat on to do this. Remember they don’t have your interests in mind __ Your fallback position. If they don’t keep any of their promises, after two months, simply go to another company (leave Russia and re-enter) and they will have wasted 100,000 rubles on the invite letter. But you will have gained valuable experience of being in a closed country. Them losing money is the ony thing that will make them take notice __ Main office to collect your cash - in the middle of nowhere - 1/2 hour bus journey after the end of the metro every month. Not funny at -(20) degree C.
