Pros

Amazing colleagues. They treat you like a family (some), the food slaps AND PERIODT.

Cons

Filled with boomers. Ngl, you'll come out battered like a soldier returning from the battlefield because every day is like a war—but psychologically. Nahh they ain't gonna slap you physically but, they'll stab you with their relentless acts of nonsense blabs, dubious self-conducted training, andddd did I mention threats on your paychecks? Oh boy, so many things to be said. Anywayy since this is a family-run business, the principal is a lady who thinks, talks and acts like a boomer. And the people in the top management are of course, just her family—all cut from the same outdated cloth. Great. In addition to that, you're expected to do all kind of tasks with such a low pay, no bonus (even for the senior staff) and somehow for some mysterious reason, the episodes of missing EPF and SOCSO exist? Wild. Which is weird because those two are mandatory according to the labor law anddd they already deducted it from your pay. But it's not there...in the account. It’s also super difficult to show proof of this mess thanks to the company’s 'no payslip' culture. Furthermore, the aforementioned threats are directly linked to this, I quote, "if you have so many sick days and it's found to be not from the right source, am I wrong to withhold your EPF?" which is insane because the standard procedures is to be given a warning or show cause letter. Plus the parents are demanding and some are even delusional😌🙏 but shout out to supportive parents tho.

Pros

- Good working colleagues - Good and understanding parents.

Cons

I worked as a teacher for about five years, and my experience at this home school was extremely disappointing, especially after the first three years. The introduction of a part-time teacher marked the beginning of a series of problems. The management consistently swept issues under the carpet and failed to properly manage our EPF and SOCSO contributions, which didn’t appear in our statements, requiring us to chase them down for our hard-earned money. There was a pervasive environment of mistrust and insecurity within the management. They attempted to tarnish my reputation based on unfounded accusations from the child of a teacher, without hearing my side of the story. Despite having evidence to prove the accusations were false, it was only through the support of my Year 5 students (batch 2023/2024) that the truth came to light. The principal, who is the grandmother of the child involved and the mother-in-law of the teacher, remained silent after the truth emerged and never apologized for the damage done to my reputation. They claimed I had lose control and reacted inappropriately, reflecting a clear bias. This lack of accountability and fairness raises serious questions about their commitment to ethical standards and justice. Overall, this place is highly toxic and poorly managed. I would NOT recommend it to anyone seeking a positive and professional work / learning environment. 🥵🥵🥵

Pros

- Supportive (ex)colleagues who readily share knowledge and celebrate your ups like its one of their own. - Accessible by public transport - School timing allows you to escape peak traffic hours - Real world debate experience

Cons

- Boomer boss who has no concept of how the real world works for the working class - Claims to be fairly run despite being a family business and it is a LIE. Do not expect a fair trial when your judgement has already been passed behind their closed doors. - Extremely poor onboarding. You will make mistakes continuously and it will be held against you with no grace. - Poorly structured curriculum with little to no prep given for hybrid learning. There is no such thing as training. Only instructions. - Blatantly lying about employee benefits and claims. No medical claim has been approved circa 2020. - Flagrant disregard for employee rights. Keep an eye on your EPF and SOCSO contributions and make sure you have a lawyer at the ready to chase them for YOUR MONEY. - Poorest communication skills I've ever come across. How are you the principal and not even aware of basic happenings in the office/ employee disputes? -Quickest turncoats. Not even sleeping with the devil (management) is going to save you from this one. - Will actively, I mean actively encourage you to tell on your colleagues and use frankly unethical tactics (questionnaires, really?) to stir tension among coworkers. Not political, my foot. - Never ever expect any events to be well planned or adequately prepared for. Everything is last minute. No one enjoys these. Stop trying to pretend they were good. - Will not defend you or stand up for you against (unreasonable) parents. - Does not follow proper Cambridge endorsed syllabi. They probably don't even know what it is. - Don't expect any due process to be done/completed. Pay -slips? Dream on. SOCSO registration? NOPE. Income Tax? Lol.
