Pros
Like any company you do get the few staff, however few, which are nice. Like most students in Hong Kong, they’re lovely to teach. I personally don’t see this as a pro but I know a lot of people working there do, there’s no lesson preparation that needs to be done. You can wing it.
Cons
There’s no disciplinary measures for staff who constantly fail to perform their duties, all they get is a talking to at best. Great place if you want a job where you can slack and not get dismissed. Students have multiple teachers, be prepared to have to sort out other teachers’ mess that they leave you with if you're responsible. There’s no real training given to staff, most of the senior teachers don’t even know their stuff but because they’ve been in the company longer, it automatically means they know more than you in everything. Not a place if you’re looking for self improvement. If you choose to leave before your contract ends even with 2 months notice, you will get hit with a months salary penalty fee, so if you leave with immediate effect you will get hit with 3 months salary penalty fee. However, the company is free to choose when to pay you your full salary which is a joke, during the pandemic it wouldn’t be surprising to see yourself only get 25% of your monthly salary at times so the penalty fees aren’t fair. The boss is manipulative. They always try to get sympathy from you to rip you off, they will place their financial burden on you such as losing a little bit of money over the pandemic and ask you to see from their point of view while they’re dripped out head to toe in designer brands like Chanel and Golden Goose. But when you’re struggling to pay rent because they cut your salary down to 25%, they don’t care, you can either leave the company and still pay the penalty fees or they’ll give you an advance pay which you need to pay back which is pointless. When business is doing really well in contrast, don’t expect a bonus. Money will only be taken from you, not given. Don’t bother giving any suggestions, always heard but nothing is ever done. The centre is focused on quantity for money, not quality. It’s basically the American Eagle of English centres, not Chanel. Company lies about where some of the teachers are from to parents. Some teachers for example are local from HK but the company promotes them to parents being from places like the UK, Canada, etc.
