Pros
When I was working Zayed University, I had an excellent benefits package. Housing, medical, salary, and overall environment was very good. In the end, we had a good contract. I did what I had to do and ZU did everything they promised. Overall, it is was a good experience. I really am thankful for the opportunity given to me and my family.
Cons
Unfortunately, towards the end, the Academic Bridge Program was being dissolved. We had one of the best English teaching programs in the world and we provided amazing support to the students, but the university wanted to go in a different direction. That lead to a lot of uncertainty for staff and faculty. There are a lot of negative reviews, but a lot of it is complaining about things are normal things encountered in every workplace and do not take into account a lot of the fluidity that exists in the Gulf context. It is just the way it is in this part of the world. You have to be able to roll with things.
