Pros

Good colleagues, complimentary parking, good location, staff meal provided

Cons

One of the most disconcerting aspects has been the divisive language used by the new Head of School to characterize the teaching staff. In various forums and communications, there has been a tendency to label the dedicated and hardworking educators as "lazy." Such derogatory comments not only undermine the morale of the teaching staff but also create a toxic and demoralizing atmosphere within the school. It is important to emphasize that the teaching profession is one of immense dedication, requiring long hours of preparation, commitment to students' well-being, and continuous professional development. Branding the teaching staff as lazy is not only inaccurate but also disrespectful to the individuals who have dedicated their careers to the betterment of the students and the school. Constructive criticism and open dialogue are essential for any organization's growth, but the use of derogatory terms to describe the teaching staff is counterproductive. It fosters a sense of distrust and disunity among the faculty, ultimately affecting the quality of education provided to the students. In addition, it is important to withhold judgment until you've had the opportunity to work closely with the team. Every group has its unique dynamics, strengths, and challenges. It's only through firsthand experience that we can truly understand and appreciate the collective efforts of individuals. As the newly appointed Head of School, give each team member the chance to showcase their skills and contributions. Only then can you make informed and fair assessments to the school board.

Pros

-The colleagues -For me is the simple task that I handled -Free lunch & parking

Cons

Bad management As you can see from the previous review from 2-3 years ago, it has not changed at all. Everyone has to follow the decision of the big boss, even though it doesn't make sense. Inconsistent decision-making, since there are "other" bosses too, makes unnecessary stress & workload for the people under them. Making money is the bosses priority. Hence, they don't think of the people who will manage their expectations. Hence, a high turnover rate. For an International school, I expected all of us to be encouraged to develop our minds by learning from someone who is qualified. But the management go to person is ChatGPT. I was really disappointed with this. There's a limit in using ChatGPT, but they rely on it 100%. In certain branches, they expect everyone to speak English, so no other languages are allowed. But the management can freely speak their native language, even in meetings where people from other backgrounds were present. To me, that is very disrespectful. Of course, there's more, but I will stop here.

Pros

You get to conduct your lesson as you wish and design it according to your preference - no interference in that.

Cons

- Workshop and training almost every Friday followed by long meetings (the management really believed that the teachers are benefiting it, or at least they are acting so). The fun fact of the training is, teachers had to take turns to present (so it's back to us with extra work) - unreasonable duties - increment range every year, RM50 - RM200 - the CEO is a typical China man, the sole decision maker in the school (heads, principal and school leaders are just for namesake). Oh, he is also and AI fanatic, so the whole management team use AI for everything - from school training slides to a simple instructions - and nothing comes from their brain. - expect school timetable to change or expect to teach new subject every 3 months.
