Pros: The most significant pro is the deep satisfaction derived from helping students achieve their academic goals, especially for those preparing for university entrance exams. Eikoh fosters a strong sense of community, and I've always felt supported by my fellow instructors and local management. The stability of being part of a well-established cram school in Japan is also a definite plus. We often collaborate on lesson plans and student support strategies, making the work feel like a shared mission.
Cons: While the core job is great, the administrative side can sometimes feel a bit cumbersome, with multiple approval layers for even minor requests. Workload can also be intense during peak seasons leading up to major exams, impacting work-life balance. I've also noticed that while there are opportunities for growth, the career ladder isn't always clearly defined for all roles, which can make advancement feel a bit uncertain at times.
Advice to Management: Streamline administrative approval processes and provide clearer, more transparent career development frameworks for instructors to help retain talent and ensure consistent growth opportunities across the board. Also, consider more proactive workload management strategies during peak periods.
