Analysis: Overall, the company does not have a sterling reputation. There are various criticisms floating about the internet (here, forum pages 1-15; Personal Review 1; Personal Review 2; Personal Review 3) that run the gamut of:  

• contracts not being honored
• work hours being amended to include unpaid weekends
• return flight tickets not provided if leaving the company on final exit
• salary not being paid in full or not being paid on time
• late or non-existent airport pickup of newly arriving staff
• switching location of employment upon entering the country
• providing unsuitable accommodation in terms of quality and distance to location of employment
• personal conflicts with unethical managers (lying to teachers about support, classroom incidences and student complaints, etc) 
• arriving to KSA on a work visa, and possibly extending the period to 365 days so that the company does not have to apply for the iqama (resident card). Without an iqama, teachers will not be able to open a bank account or transfer money. Other means to send money without an iqama requires using another person who does have an iqama to transfer for them.
