Employees at Austin Heights Sdn Bhd value the opportunity to learn a wide variety of skills in a short time, which can benefit their future careers. The workplace offers exposure to a diverse student body, including Chinese-speaking and international students. Staff appreciate their great colleagues and the healthy working environment. The company is recognised as highly stable with good management at board level.
However, there are some potential challenges, including salary levels that may not fully reflect the specialised nature of the work, particularly when teaching students with special educational needs. Resources for lesson preparation can be limited, requiring teachers to source materials themselves. Class sizes can be large, with more than 30 students, including many with special needs such as ADHD, Autism, and Dyslexia. Some staff have noted that work assignments may not always align with experience or qualifications, and front-line staff face the challenge of dealing with diverse stakeholders from various backgrounds.
