Pros

Potentially it would be a stimulating and enjoyable job, but there are too many downsides in management and in the environment.

Cons

Bad management of information flow (complicated, often absent). Rigidity in the hierarchies, but at the same time uncertainty about who does what and who is in charge (not an attentive manager and colleagues who try to overtake him). No collaboration between colleagues (pass the buck, not sharing information, absence of communication), no intention to create a team. Favouritism and marked inequality of treatment (both for freelance teachers and for internal staff). No recognition for the good work done and constant underlining of the negative aspects (sometimes futile), which generates dissatisfaction and lack of motivation. Constant rejection of improvement/growth proposals. Bad management of employees and business in general by the manager. Alienating and poisoning environment, no empathy from management. Employees don't have decisional power. Low salaries.

Pros

career growth opportunities - i started as a casual trainer, then pedagogical manager, then moved into commercial management side of the business. international - our clients come from around the world, they are all interesting business men and women from multi-nationals to SMEs, C-levels to junior employees. And the odd celebrity too. The opportunity to contribute to an evolving future - our business is continually changing, with an increased focus on technology and e-training. You can help to shape our future. Flexible / reasonable working hours plus the opportunity to work remotely Great office locations (part of a network of 17 offices in Europe) in major European cities Ongoing INSET and promoting life long learning Superb colleagues, many of whom have been working with Linguarama for a number of years

Cons

For London, salary is modest and could be improved
