Pros

Getting paid on time and that is it. Do your homework. There are better places to work in China on a Z visa.

Cons

Very disorganized. Schedule changes right up to the last minute. Be fully prepared to be less than a week away from the start date of the semester and have no class schedule. Old Building with outdated equipment. ESL teachers are made to feel only BC certified teachers are worth the bother of helping them to settle in.

No accommodation. Pace below-market rates at times. Unable to negotiate contract because of salary structure. They are constantly changing procedures and systems.
