I'm a PT in a local school. Like the school, the team and some aspects of the job.
We are paid on time and got good help at orientation. Accommodation varies - usually a two or three bedroomed apartment. Some apartment blocks are in the middle of construction sites or in locations where parking is terrible - luck of the draw really.
Unfortunately the company politics are terrible. Several friends of mine have been sacked - basically for complaining about their line managers.
CfBT cannot deal with personnel issues - it is not even really the fault of HR - they are being controlled by a clique of control freaks. The company does not want to acknowledge any personnel problems, are paranoid about the local schools sensing that all of the CfBT may not get on (so they ignore basic human nature) and this allows rampant bullying and bitching to spread throughout the company.
I will not be working there next year - way too much job insecurity! If you speak up in anyway or if you do not 'play the game' you are at risk of losing your job.
The company are being brought to the Ministry of Labour by several people who have been unfairly dismissed.
You do realise that you will not have any Christmas holidays? If you have children their school holidays may not coincide with yours since CfBT PT's holidays are the local school holidays.
My overall advice - you can get better pay for the same type of job so look around for jobs with the other operators. However if you are prepared to ignore the bulls**t, hope that you will not get into any conflict or that no one will lie about you, hope that you get a good line manager and are good at 'playing the game' and are a 'yes man/woman' you will probably get on fine!
