      Get away from this place as fast as possible

      Senior trainer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      1... Young people around 2... Get to meet lots of interesting clients 3... One or two nice guys.. one owner is nice, the old ceo-like guy was nice, some people are really mean though

      Cons

      1... Salaries are terrible 2... Bad at retaining people... By far the best guy they had was minat, genius man and very nice but they worked him way too hard and eventually he left after trying to keep standards high for a few years. The best trainers they have leave after 1 or max 2 years 3... Weekends are tough so hard to have social life 4... Lots of commuting because they have 2 offices 5... No systems to run things smoothly... Everything keeps breaking down. And the more clients they have the worse their service. Minat and Vivek were setting up amazing systems but they both left 6... Office is not clean 7... You won't get promoted easily and if you do, it'll be a promotion in name only

      Thanks for the feedback. According to your post - you were with us for 3-4 years. That's a long time to have kept some of these thoughts to yourself. My honest advice is to always talk to your Manager / Director in charge whenever something does not sit right. Call me old fashioned, but it makes no sense to bring things up in a post after you have left - rather it would have been far more beneficial to you (and the company) if you came and spoke to me while you were here. So to anyone reading this who is currently working (or associated with Prep Zone here in Singapore) - anything at all bothering you - please come talk to me. Thanks Nagitha (Director, Prep Zone Academy)

      Good people, terrible management

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Many of the colleagues are great people - fresh grads who like fun and are smart. There does tend to be a mercenary streak though (promoted by the incentive structure), and the ones that stay are generally more morally bankrupt than the ones that smell the coffee after less than a year and move on. You can also make pretty good money if you play your cards right.

      Cons

      Terrible management. Highly immoral, don't respect employees or students one bit. Care only about sales, and not about quality delivery. Would usually prefer making a sale even if it meant messing up someone's future. The overall culture is also quite cutthroat, and the main CEO generally puts people in charge who are manipulative and sometimes sadistic, and care about money above all else. Most people don't stick it out, and the company seems to be over hill, with its deteriorating reputation finally catching up to it.

      A Lot of Hard Work but Great Growth Potential and International Exposure

      Trainer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      *Internationally mobile career in great cities. Prep Zone is in Dubai, Singapore and even Shanghai now. *Work with really smart people (it's test prep - these guys all have 2300 SAT and 760 GMATs) *After a year of intensive teaching, which can get redundant, there are a lot of content or sales/marketing stuff you can get involved with. *Many times you will have a lot of responsibility very early - great for your resume but a lot of work *Potential for decent pay after first 6 months or year

      Cons

      Company is growing so fast that roles aren't well defined and things can get sloppy Certain people involved in sales have too much power in the organization Teaching test-prep can get boring but if you're doing grad level stuff and interacting with GMAT or GRE students this is less of a problem. Starting pay can be a bit low but you tend to make more after 3 or 6 months
