Pros
It is a great opportunity to meet and interact with students from all over the world. You may not have the time or opportunity to travel around the world, but this work brings the world to you!
Cons
They don't want teachers, they want robots like Stepford Wives. There is no respect for competence, creativity or dedication in teachers. Pay is poor. There is no guarantee of hours and your schedule changes every 4 weeks. You have little or no advance knowledge what you will teach. I have walked in at 8 in the morning and been given my schedule of classes beginning at 8:30. There is no support from administration on my local level and the national management team seems to only communicate to criticize. The books are bad and the technology is sad.
Advice to Management
Get some management training. Communicate good news once in a while. Don't create an environment where staff feel a need to compete rather than collaborate.
