Pros

I can't think of any.

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for in KSA. The pay is garbage. As a teacher, you will receive absolutely no office hours - but that doesn't stop the school from piling on more and more work that you will have to do in class I suppose - since there is no other time to do it. Currently they are pressuring all of us to switch to an iqama (an excuse to take our passports away) since they can't keep teachers with this low amount of pay. They even put a sign up at the hotel saying that if we leave, we have to pay the hotel bill - THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO PAY THAT BILL, IT IS IN THE CONTRACT!!! So basically we are all being held prisoner here with these thinly veiled threats. (No passport, no pay. If you try to leave, you must pay etc...)

Pros

Salman, the HR, was a gem, always had an open door policy, always responded on WhatsApp; Always provided documentation when required such as pay slips, permission letters to open bank accounts and rent apartments etc.; Easygoing with exit re-entry visas; Paid on time; Received bonuses.

Cons

When I first joined them in 2018, there were delays in the salaries for the first couple of months. In the final year of their contract with the university, they didn't pay the teachers for the last 3 months if I remember correctly. Teachers complained and raised cases to the Ministry. All was resolved in the end though.
