    Just don't do it, look somewhere else.
    The good thingsNothing good. If you are looking for a good working environment, it is not here.
    The challengesIf I listed all the challenges I went through in this company, it would exceed the word count. No incentives and bonuses. No career growth. No considerations to employees.

    Overall, whether you're a newbie or tenured in the ESL industry, CDP will be a good company for you. The officers and managers are very helpful. Career advancement is possible as long as you always keep your best foot forward.
    The good things1. Our CEO and the people you'll meet in the office are very nice and approachable. 2. Once the management sees and acknowledges your efforts, expect that opportunities will open for you. Promotion in CDP is not always based on seniority, but also on one's work attitude, perspective, and being a team player, among others. 3. Mostly WFH set-up. Some are hybrid, some are office-based. 4. Each account has its perks and rewards on top of one's basic salary. Speaking of which, the salary range is around average to high average compared to other ESL companies. 5. Normally, the work schedule is M-F, mid-shift. But there are some accounts with early shifts and rotating schedules. 6. HMO, Govt-mandated benefits, free consultation with the company physician, monthly performance awards
    The challengesChallenges depend on the account one belongs to. Some accounts will challenge your endurance because of lesson demand. A few, you'll find it difficult to file for a leave. Nonetheless, you'll be able to take a break aside from the two-day weekend. I believe that no company is perfect and more or less, one will experience challenges not only in CDP but also in other companies.

    I hope that this company will be recognize as "Great Place to Work".
    The good thingsBy far, this is the company I'm looking for. Most of the employees here (HR, TLs, and supervisors) are very approachable, considerable, and professional. I'm a WFH tutor, and they make sure that you will not be left behind, even in training or team buildings. Yes, the salary is just around average, but they make sure that they reward and recognize the hard work of every employee here. Even the benefits are reasonable, and you will not usually find them in most ESL companies.
    The challengesAs of now, I never experience any challenges since working with them is just so smooth.

    This company doesn't give value to its employees
    The good thingsMy teammates were nice
    The challengesSalary is very low, You only have 10 leaves in a year, the working hours is very late, there's no career growth and no room for promotion. You will get sick working here because even if you're sick, you can't even take a rest.

    A dynamic work experience
    The good thingsThe classes were dynamic and followed a good curriculum that was not solely textbook-based. The workplace was clean and comfortable, and there was opportunity for growth. The superiors were also very constructive and the working environment relatively stress-free.
    The challengesThere were not many challenges working for this company. They had good compensation for the comparatively light workload. The company could better improve by providing bonuses or incentives for their employees, though.

    Good to Worst
    The good things1. My supervisors are good mentors. They encourage you to excel and to always go beyond your limits. 2. The location is great because it is near my place.
    The challenges1. I wish the work environment during overtime is better (e.g. with proper ventilation). 2. I wish there was work-life balance. 3. I wish the company's HR department improve. Being new to the position should not be an excuse to incompetency. 4. I hope this company can carefully follow those that are in the Labor Code.
