Pros

There is no Pros at all.

Cons

Very high turnover of trainers. Most employees are fresh graduates, whom are here on a gap year to experience Singapore and Asia. Very few or none of the trainers have teaching experience. No structure or proper training. One of the senior management is a college dropout, whom didn't even complete a basic degree as he thinks that he is too smart for it! Only interested in getting as many students as possible for the courses and consultation offered. May do well if you are only doing sales here.

Prep Zone Response

A bit disappointing to read this review on glassdoor. We have a tight knit group of highly qualified trainers here (most of whom have been with Prep Zone for many years now) who work very hard on behalf of our thousands of students, helping them achieve impressive scores. So as a former trainer with Prep Zone, it's a bit disrespectful to brand your former team members this way. Perhaps you were a little emotional while writing this (on the 1st of January!) so it might be best for us to catch up on things if you're willing. Just drop me a mail or call the office and we can set up a time to chat. Wishing you a happy new year in the meantime. Thanks Nagitha (Director, Prep Zone Academy)

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
