Pluspunten

Steady paycheck. That is it. Used to be a good job. The malaise within the staff is overwhelming nationwide. Every time I cover another Center or a Covering Teacher comes to us, it's the same story: NO ONE IS HAPPY. We are all grossly overworked and horribly underpaid. Run away!

Minpunten

New Online/Offline system is horrific. The students hate it. The parents hate it even more. Both want an actual teacher in a classroom. One student who is leaving told me "Why should my parents pay all this money, when I can go on YouTube and get free lessons?" One parent told me "This is a dumb idea. I'm a busy man. I don't have time to hover over my son's shoulder to make sure he is doing his online lesson." The logistics of the online program are terrible too: Students can't hear or understand the teacher, the Electric bill rises, not all students have a computer at home, bad WiFi, etc, etc. EVERY teacher Nationwide HATES this new program. We now have TRIPLE the admin work that is UNPAID. We spend more time writing comments than actually teaching. This entire program is a DISASTER. Students and Teachers are dropping like flies. It won't be long until Centers start closing.

Pluspunten

Easy to get into if you're white or Filipino. The kids are more mature and speak better English than the administration!

Minpunten

Lower and lower pay because of online classes, not enough TAs, too much administrative work for no pay. They should be getting a bot for all this grading.

Pluspunten

Offer continuing education and access to teaching resources

Minpunten

Terrible mismanagement of the COVID crisis, enjoyed making tone-deaf corporate videos that were supposed to encourage staff. Like most language centers in Vietnam, money is king at the end of the day and supersedes everything. About every week a new policy is enacted that you will be required to follow. Enjoy being threatened with write-ups and bonus reduction! Also, the pay at Apollo is far below the standard in Hanoi. They say it’s because of the benefits, but other reputable centers also have these benefits but pay more.
