Pros

The contract is easy to terminate. Some people can treat you well.

Cons

You will be overloaded with work and have more hours/students than anyone in the department. Your salary will be 50% of the salary of people who spent 5+ years sitting in one place, with no professional development whatsoever. Teaching is outside of the priority, your major goal is to send/reply to emails that make no sense and repeat themselves every week - it is important to imitate hard work. Toxic policy in terms of attendance, the institute fails the students automatically. You are watched, supervised and restricted at every step.

Pros

Work hours are reasonable and work-life balance is achievable.

Cons

1. Unreasonable treatment of term staff - VTC urges term staff to do written tests and go through interviews every year to secure a 2-year contract. Some of them could not get the 2-year contract even after 8 years. 2. No job security - term staff contracts have to be reviewed every year according to the number of new students. Some term staff have their contracts ended without renewal as short as 7 months. 3. Poor staff training - most of the students are with behavioural problems or learning difficulties. However, teaching staff are not provided any in-depth training of SEN education. Therefore, they have very limited information or teaching strategies towards SEN students. Management sees training as not a necessity.
