Vantaggi
There are no pros. You interview and plan and buy props and go through a week long of arduous training online and offline only to be rushed through policy training and your pre-existing commitments are not honored. How can one not go to a Wedding or transport their ailing mother? What is interesting about it is that they approve you through the interview, and reject you once you bring up time off. They only pay once per month, and very politely engage you the entire time of hiring. However the TL's are non-supportive and condescending at a minimum, as if this is the greatest opportunity in a lifetime and you better not ever not show up for a class or ask for a sub. Interestingly enough - the Chinese are suppose to value family, particularly support of their elderly population - but when it comes to a teacher's already committed schedule which only involved two days of transporting my ailing mother with Cancer on the airline, they sent me an email stating that "Chinese children get angry when they do not have the same teacher and have to have a sub, and to apply again when my schedule was better."
Svantaggi
Hired and told at Interview that a wedding/transport of sick mother was acceptable to take time off. When it actually came down to it, they dismissed me.
