Pros

Professional colleagues and good prospects for career development Huge network and opportunity to work in a variety of settings Free reign given to teachers in how they tackle course targets. Maximum 24 hours teaching per week Very good middle management

Cons

Big class sizes Emphasis on profit maximisation...contrary to mission statement. Lack of flexibility, inspiration and leadership from senior management. Too hierarchical
