Pros

They helped make Jeremey Hunt and IDP Australia very wealthy and themselves a lot of money whilst being hypocritical liars.

Cons

Overwork the employees. Make expats follow British rules and regulations whilst using Chinese laws when they are more beneficial to them. Kowtow to Chinese workers and the government so they can get as many Chinese to study abroad and make as much money as possible.
