Pros

Some great colleagues who care about their craft

Cons

- Pay increases below inflation every year, if at all. - Management is constantly crying poor. - Terrible communication at best, gaslighting at worst. - Some incredibly manipulative and nasty people in management who will not hesitate to throw you under the bus if it suits them.

Business Outlook

Pros

Ability to sometimes use facilities

Cons

Terrible management. Lack of oversight. Severely under pay their instructors. All upper management is concerned with is cutting corners to save a buck. Obsessed with over filling class sizes which leads to the underpaid instructors not being able to deliver the program effectively. Also leads to students (who pay a premium for tuition), are left with less hands on and 1 on 1 time with instructors. The whole place is a complete mess.
