Pros

Only positive is they pay you most of the time but it usually comes late or your pay slip is not correct.

Cons

Many people in the head office of Hanoi will make you feel like pax english is a company that cares about its teachers and students. However they do not and are a terrible run company that is very cut throat and political. Many people are fired and the teachers are abused. Only positive is if you can tolerate being degraded daily you will get paid eventually although it will come late most of the time. They also take in students with disabilities and trick the parents into thinking they can handle them.

Thank you for your feedback, some of which has been shocking to read and demands immediate internal auditing - we'd be grateful if you could provide a contact number or email so that we can reach out for further details. You can send to recruiting@apaxleaders.edu.vn. It will remain completely confidential. In terms of payment, the unique and terrible COVID situation affecting the world has really put a strain on both APAX as a company and the industry as a whole. Thankfully, it looks like things are beginning to look up, especially in Vietnam which took big precautions early on. Sales figures have been very promising and student demand is back on the rise. We are optimistic things will be returning to normality within the next month or so. In any case, it has always been company policy to provide payslips 3 days in advance of pay with a request to address any abnormalities ahead of the payment actually being made. This provides the employee with the opportunity to correct something amiss ahead of time.

Pros

This is a great place to work for any person new to teaching. For those that have experience or are eager to gain more skills, there are a lot of opportunities for advancement. While Apax is not perfect, everyone continuously tries to make it a better place to work and improve themselves. There is a big focus on feedback and growth. As long as you stay open, you will gain a lot.

Cons

I don't see this as a con, however, coming into this company, it's important to keep in mind that you will need to stay flexible. This was tough for me in the beginning. However I am incredibly grateful to have gained this from my experience with Apax.

Thanks for your feedback - we very much appreciate the positive vibes at such a chaotic and demoralising time for all! Let's hope we can get back to being the biggest and boldest English education company in Vietnam in 2021 once this pandemic fades a bit.

Pros

No lesson prep. They have some shady connections with the government that allow them to get people in the country.

Cons

They are months late on pay, the staff is generally incompetent on every level and lie constantly. You too most likely will contribute to that culture of inefficiency, as they will give you zero support and let you rot unaided. This means you'll have a hard time smiling while singing the "Hello Song."

Thank you for your feedback. To date (June 2021), there is no outstanding pay for teachers from 2020 or the first quarter of 2021. Almost all of April's salary payments have been paid out, and a portion of May is to be made imminently. If a staff member suffers hardship of any kind, s/he is strongly recommended to make contact with her/his manager immediately.
