Pros

Good group of people to work with. Good values. Aspires to be a superior education facility. Teaches their teachers in their way of doing things.

Cons

Their philosophy of managmennt is unflexable to unique styles of teaching. You eather fit in to their narrow band of teaching style or they harass you out. That means that they will find rundisclosed reasons to write you up on a weekly basis and then warn the rest of the staff in a posted bullitin.

Business Outlook

Pros

Depending on your role, you will be guided toward advancement from day one. Advancement depends on excellent performance in training and the classroom, of course, but management is rooting for you to succeed and anticipating your ability to meet and exceed expectations.

Cons

No cons. Be prepared to commit yourself. Excellence is a standard here; acknowledged and rewarded. The focus is on providing students and their parents with the best education possible. This means that responsibility lies with each employee and there are no corners to hide in! So, make sure you are mentally and generally prepared to be your best before interviewing.
