Is it a genuine school? Is it blacklisted? Anything. .

Hello everybody, I got a job offer from a school of Beijing (Teach In China) with good salary package. Should I join or not?
ReplyDeleteI just recieved an offer from English First and I am super suspiscious after doing some research. They gave me a 2 month probation period and some benefits are not clear they still have not repied to my email after 48hrs.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your articles that you have shared with us. Hopefully you can give the article a good benefit to us. English through skype
ReplyDeleteStay away from Webi in Beijing. I worked there for two months and didn't get paid. They are liars and thieves.
ReplyDeleteI would like to warn everyone about the Kid Castle in Xining city in Qinghai Province. The management there are awful. The teachers room leaks from the KTV upstairs and the squat style toilets next to the teachers room stinks. The realia is old and dirty. The monthly salary is very low 12k rmb. There is no health insurance, no help financially with paying the health checks or residents permit. Salary paid late quite often, two weeks on one occasion with no reason or apology. After completing my contract and already returned to England they realised that they had paid me an extra months salary by mistake. I had no idea as I had no way to access my chinese bank account. I had disconnected the account from my wechat but they said they had paid me one extra month's salary. The foreign management were so unprofessional and rude it was quite unbelievable. They can get away with it because they have the name Kid Castle but do no have to follow any of Kid Castle's methods or rules. I checked. The students were mostly great, chinese colleagues worked to the bone.
