Pros
Nice staff and co-workers. Supportive, approachable boss. Good (adult) students who want to learn but don't take things TOO seriously, either. Good textbooks and a curriculum that's easy to follow.
Cons
Pay isn't great. I'm not sure what the going rate is for ESL Teachers in an American city, but it seems on the low end. I might be wrong. For how high their enrollment is, I think they could pay more if they wanted to avoid the turnover that they have. No benefits or paid sick leave or sick days or anything like that. But that's to be expected when you only work eighteen hours per week. The idea is that you have another part-time job somewhere else.
