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

Small team, small scale. Some teachers are nice and some students are good. That's about it

Cons

The people who runs this so called "school" are master manipulators. They may seem nice on the outside, but really , they're not. They will go all out to butter you up, make you feel like you're an added value to their team, give you what you want at first, but then, it all becomes clear as to what they're doing behind closed doors. You see, it's a family business, which is fine, many businesses are also like that, but this particular family just loves to save their image and their name and the rest of us are just collaterals. Yes, they pay well I guess, they would even offer you a salary that is way above your own asking salary. But please, that is just to lure you in. Fairness? Honesty? Respect? Doesn't exist. It's all a bed of roses when you start until the thorns come out. All the bad Google Reviews, I can tell you, they are all true. Not one of them are even lying. If they can get their own management and students to fake good reviews, you already know the lengths that they will go to just to save their "school". They are not properly licensed, so, that itself is already dangerous. EPF, SOCSO and benefits? Those are things that are unknown to them because we worked hard, but our rights, stolen! Please, don't even consider this place no matter what. Nice pay, nice people, nice place? Just don't. You will definitely regret later on. To the ones who stayed, my only question to you is, is it all really worth it? How long do you think you'll "get your way"? It'll all come crushing down soon, just wait and see.

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.
