Business outlook
Pros
- Friendly staff. One gets the feeling that they really care about the teachers. Many fellow ALTs I've spoken with say that GLAD is the best employer they've worked with. - Great support. They go out of their way to help people with their problems. - Intangible, but they are a nonprofit, so it feel like their motivations are driven by more than simply pursuing the bottom line.
Cons
- The usual ALT rigamarole. Contracts are only as stable as BOEs decide they are, or if they don't get undercut (for bid contracts). That really applies to any company, though. - Sometimes they don't reply to emails quickly. As they're a relative upstart in this industry, though, it's understandable - I got the impression that they have a lot on their hands.
