It's gotten worse. The pay is down to 10k RMB a month, 1500 housing allowance.

I was working for them for about 4 months when they fired me. No particular indication of why, I was told that my enrollment was down. But, up until that point they gave me absolutely no support whatsoever. Going so far as to not even bother telling the trainer that there was a problem until they had decided to fire me. The "contract" isn't something that you'll be provided with until after you're at the center. And the contract itself isn't even a legitimate contract. It clearly isn't one that they provide to the FEB for review as it's not on the appropriate paper, lacks the normal registration number.

When I started there were two illegal foreign teachers, neither of whom had work visas as they weren't from any of the countries that are on the list for eligibility to teach English.

To add insult to injury, they didn't bother to even give me a written notice that I was being fired and what the end date was, which cost me an additional 2400 RMB on top of the nearly 8000 RMB that I didn't get for may airline tickets.Peter Cooke outright lied about the accuracy of the reviews and has yet to make any sort of explanation or response. Nobody at corporate seems to care about the foreign teachrs and ultimately I wound up losing my job because Josie doesn't know how to do hers, or can't be bothered to.

Do not take a job working for them as the pay is miserable, the working conditions are ridiculous and in general it's a scam. I've taught in rural schools that were better than this joke of a training center.
