Pros

The centre has students from all over the world and from all walks of life. You can never run out of lesson ideas after getting to know them. Colleagues there are supportive too. You can take the LRT to KLCC station, and it is about a 15-minute walk to the centre, which is quite convenient.

Cons

I was forced to resign after a nasty experience with a middle-eastern student while I was there. The student demanded that I recheck and give him a grade that could enable him to skip a level. He did pass his paper to proceed to the next level, but it wasn't enough for him as he wanted to skip levels to graduate fast. It's unethical. He then shared fabricated news about me failing his paper to stall his progress with his other middle-eastern peers, and word got around fast. He told them to beware of me and complain to the principal if I appeared in their class. The upper management wasn't supportive on this matter, but I can see they tried. I was thrown around to different levels and classes to mitigate the issue, but it was too late. I had to be called to see the principal every day after work just for her to share the complaints thrown at me. She really wanted to be by my side, but alas, money was what drove this centre alive. It effected my metal health badly.

Pros

Good colleagues, teachers, receptionist, academic committee and environment.

Cons

Late salary payment, the CEO and HR doesn't care about you. They might not even pay you. Backward facilities, no payment for EPF and SOCSO (even if it stated in the contract). According to SSM, this company is going to be bankrupt soon as their debt is higher than their assets. The HR is not professional, always gossiping and busybody. If you truly want to work here, you have to consider about receiving your salary very late. Even when they say it is on 7th or 10th, they will pay you at the end of the month. According to SSM, EPF and Labour's Office, this company should not receive or make payment as their current status of operation is not legit (due to high debt).
