Pros

Profits over people, do not work here

Cons

Bad school to both work and study. Teachers are poorly paid and overworked. Students are passed on through a mill and are not adequately prepared to take on even introductory courses at poorly private colleges.

EC English Language Centers Response

Dear Colleague, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I was disappointed to note your comments regarding profits over people and conditions for teachers. We pride ourselves in delivering an outstanding level of education to our students, and recognise that to do so we must attract, employee and retain a high calibre of teaching staff. Our teachers are paid according to a teacher pay scale that takes into account both years of experience and qualifications, and we regularly benchmark our salaries to ensure we are paying a competitive salary in the industry. With regards to the students being unprepared, we dispute this and would point out that the EC academic program was created by a team of experts and is constantly evaluated to ensure the highest standards for our students, and we are proud to say we have received international recognition through industry awards. Thanks again for taking the time to leave review and we wish you much success in your future endeavours. Julian Bell Global HR Director

Pros

This is a good place to get started in English language teaching. The students are great, the location is good, and this is an international company with a lot of interesting intersections. Teachers were very pleasant to work with and genuinely cared about student happiness.

Cons

Very low pay for Boston, management not sensitive to teacher or student needs, director and HR enable bullying, manipulative, racially biased behavior from staff towards other staff and students. The company also misrepresents itself a bit to the students as a quality language school when really it's a tourist enterprise with a school attached.
