Pros

- Constant flow of students - multicultural batches - great brand to work for

Cons

The management of the Language Department is catastrophic currently. Teaching staff has been laid off with no prior notice and no discussion, with just a sudden mail. The BSO is incompetent, making glaring errors constantly and unapologetically. He has no team management skills, has minimal interaction with his team, nor does he care for the wellbeing of his teaching team, leaving the team highly demotivated. Toxic work atmosphere. People in leadership roles have no experience or training in people management and have the most atrocious unempathetic way of going about things.

Pros

Co-workers were great. We tried to uplift each other despite the straining work conditions.

Cons

Two class system: Local employees don't receive the same advancement, pay and career options then sent employees. Management is German, has no idea about US work regulations. Management overall seems to lack in all managerial skills besides delegating work and are in need of extensive managerial training.
