Pros

If you know how to teach and build a rapport with those whom you teach, and meet your objectives, you will be okay and management will leave you alone (as long as you do what they expect of you). The compound and housing are good. The pay is higher than most contracts can offer here in Saudi Arabia. Management will leave you alone if you show them you are competent and adept in teaching and classroom management. Compared to other ELT jobs in Saudi Arabia, it really isn't that bad. With that said, it's a job and a fair amount of professionalism is needed. If you just do what they say and see it as a job which comes with responsibilities, you will be okay.

Cons

The biggest issue in terms of teaching here is that the cadets are tired and they like to sleep, so you need to be on their case. Management wants you to deal with this, as it is happening in your classroom. If you can handle that and get through the lessons, you will do fine here. If you complain a lot and ask "why" to everything they ask of you, you will most definitely find it difficult to manage here. The same could be said for working anywhere, though. Management here will get on your case, but only if you give them reason to.

Pros

Working for a project run by BlueForce was a great adventure and a life-changing opportunity. I got the opportunity to work among high level professionals, create a larger network, and support projects that create value for my country and community. I always felt supported by management and leadership, and that my voice was heard; as a working woman I felt empowered in my role; and my managers were always willing to support my professional and academic growth providing tools and training as needed. The salary I received was very competitive and far exceeded the local market rate.

Cons

Working in a multinational and bilingual company was a challenge at first but once I understood the communication channels and the tools available it became easier.

Pros

Vacation time. Arabic food. Coworkers.

Cons

My time at this company was deeply disappointing, primarily due to the corporate management's apparent focus solely on profits, often at the expense of employee well-being. Despite hard work and dedication, there were no raises, and job security seemed low, especially for American employees, as many were let go with only two weeks' notice to pack up and leave. In contrast, foreign nationals were retained, which created a sense of instability and unfairness within the workforce. Additionally, there was significant pressure on current employees to leave positive Glassdoor reviews, which makes me question the authenticity of many of the glowing ratings you may see here. It’s important to approach these reviews with caution. If you're considering a position here, I would advise you to think carefully and weigh your options. (Run.)
