Pros
- Good for beginner teachers; you'll get observations, feedbacks, colleagues that might you learn from. - There's HR in the company; not super fast, but they get the job done. - Member of IH; you get can discount for their online courses and get extra certificates %20 I think. - High turnover, So you might get promoted if you are a " yes man". - You used to get in Apollo for professional development. - You'll get accepted regardless of your nationality by the academic staff.
Cons
- Increasing marketing demands, keeping students happy is more important than having meaningful lessons or keeping teacher content with the company. - Numbers and numbers. - 11.5 month contract for some reason. - High turnover, people get promoted but question if it's worth it after a short while. - You used to get in Apollo for professional development, not for the salary. - There's soft nativism going on; academic managers care about how good teacher you are, but the center managers run the center and they will care if you are native or not. - Basically, current Apollo is nothing special; little bit more organized than your basic language center but doesn't actually live up to it's size or name.
