Oh I had no idea GEMS was taking it over.
I've heard a lot of good things about GEMS.
Aside from that though, I can tell you that pre-GEMS, yes, the salaries were pretty darned good. But they were also a lot higher than you would get in any other school. EVERYONE was trying to get hired there because of the hours and the salaries. In other schools you'll be looking at about 5,000 dirhams to start (give or take dpending on the school and your qualifications and experience) but of course, you'll also get the accommodation and the annual airfair. That's the norm.
