Pros
The classes are amazing, with such kind students. Cusco is beautiful. The receptionists, directors, cleaners, fellow teachers are fun to work with.
Cons
The schedule is insane. 7am starts and 9pm finishes. No sick pay. Pointless meetings. Rampant cheating from students goes unpunished because the CEO wants them to keep coming to extract money. Nepotism in the company where the CEO picks his cronies, or children to advance in the company. If you want to advance in the company, you need to suck up to the owners. The wage is ridiculous. We earn $550 which is about it 10% of what we bring into the company. They sell the company on living and working in South America, but you have no time to explore because there are NO holidays. The company culture is terrible, greedy CEOs from the US are exploiting this country! The face of Maximo is the biggest facade. This is not a good company. Most of the reviews here have been written by fake accounts to prop up the rating. In only 6 months here, I ran out of money, exhausted, underpaid, overworked. Do NOT work here. Cusco is beautiful and there are much better schools in the area.
