My experience at this International school has been incredibly frustrating , there are numerous issues that make it impossible to recommend this place to anyone . The most troubling issue has been the lack of collaboration between teachers , there a sense of competition and inflated ego that only serve to create a divisive and unproductive atmosphere . A real lack of support from management , more focused on placing blame rather than addressing concerns. The company culture is toxic as there is a troubling dynamic where long standing teachers pressure newcomers to resign , creating a very unwelcoming and hostile environment . Additionally the work load is overwhelming with a constant burden of online assignments and work outside of regular hours . The salary is shockingly low for the amount of work expected and there are no real opportunities for advancement or promotions .
