Pros

- great team of teachers, knowledgeable, friendly, hardworking. - Good holidays - Good opportunities for professional development

Cons

- Senior Management is seriously out of touch with teaching department and has little to no interest in employee well-being. - despite policies to protect diversity and mental health etc, the reality is far from that. - Director is petty and makes decisions based on personal and unprofessional bias. - ever decreasing package of benefits. - People with a non-academic background making academic decisions. - Decisions made solely on money over the academic benefit/ benefit to the student. When those decisions fail the teacher is blamed.
