Pros

Overall, I think it is a very good company for people who are interested in education. First, you will have a lot of opportunities to communicate and interact with motivated students and help them not only in their college application but also with their intellectual development. Also, Taurus provides a non-competitive and collaborative environment where people are generally nice and friendly. Employees have different backgrounds: Chinese, American, and some other nationalities. A lot of co-workers also hang out after work and become close friends with each other. Additionally, with comparatively good salary and benefit package, you can choose comany housing and actually have a comfortable standard of living in Shanghai. There are also many company traditions such as company retreat, graduation weekend for students, Wednesday breakfast and team building events which help people get to know others better. Furthermore, I enjoy the flexible time schedule so that you don't need to get up super early in the morning and follow the strict 9 to 5 work schedule. If you work on weekends, you can always make it up with some other work days.

Cons

During the peak season (October to December), you do need to work overtime and it might get unpredictable at times. If you need a set work schedule, this might not be a good place for you. Also, different supervisors might have different personal styles and you can get confused when working for them at the same time. As a result, you should learn to be flexible.

Pros

-Unlike other educational agencies you may find in China, Taurus is genuinely trying to advise and nurture students. It is definitely very rewarding knowing that you are helping these students to realize their dreams -Opportunities to work with the most talented students in China -A better understanding of Chinese education system -Opportunities to start your own project/ event -Great coworkers and supportive management -Five office locations so you get to travel around all of them during marketing season -Company retreats and vacations

Cons

-Expect to work late hours/ at home/ on weekends during application season -Late-night phone calls once in a while from clients -Pressure from managing time, shouldering the responsibility, and managing clients’ expectations -As this is a consulting job, you have to be very patient and attentive when working with clients.

Thank you for contributing this review! We take great pride in placing so much emphasis on our students' involvement in the process, which we believe strongly differentiates us from others, and we continue to work to develop a stronger company and culture that attracts and retains talented staff. Again, many thanks!
