Pros

1. Good overall support for visa application (which can be tedious and confusing for beginners). A visa specialist from the company was assigned to work with me from the very beginning, and I did not have to pay for it. 2. Competitive pay compared to other employers in the industry - almost 20% higher than its local competitors could offer. 3. Ideal workload compared to international schools and ESL training schools for adults – roughly 12-16 teaching hours per week. 4. Most Chinese staffs are bilingual, well educated, (mostly) friendly, and are always willing to lend a hand when needed.

Cons

1. Inconsistent management: most company policy documents are only available in Chinese, and there are a lot of last minutes notice for the occasional school events and activities. 2. Shorter paid holidays compared to that of some international schools and bilingual kindergartens – only two weeks off in summer, plus five days paid personal leaves.

Pros

Extremely easy workload. If you have a decent class with intelligent kids you can really develop them well over the time you are, assuming you put the effort in, as there is no scrutiny of teachers there. They paid extremely well for the level of work required. You have quite a lot of flexibility in how you teach if you ignore the very badly designed curriculum plans. HR are slow and unresponsive but eventually they did well by me.

Cons

By the end there was virtually zero management in our campus due to the dire financial situation. For the tuition fee the parents pay, the standards are extremely low, almost non existent. Most local teachers were lazy and did not put much effort in. Usually you would say that about the foreigners, but here the locals wouldn't put any effort in with the kids, always spending time on their phones and putting minimal effort into their lessons. Towards the end the financial situation was bad and knowing if you would get paid on time became unreliable.
