I wanted to add something about their illegal hiring practices, as other respondents have commented on.

They are not legally a school. As a result, they cannot hire "teachers". So what they do is they will hire you under a false job title. They hired me as a computer engineer or something like that. I asked my colleagues and the ones that knew told me all sorts of odd jobs, like marketing and accounting. Why is this a problem, you ask?

First, when the police bust down the door for an inevitable raid, they will see you standing in front of a class full of kids and know that you aren't doing marketing or IT. You will be arrested. You will be deported.

Second, when you inevitably quit or get fired, your next job must somehow be related to whatever fake job they gave you. My current employer is now forced to bend the truth and say that my current job has something to do with computers, even if it doesn't specifically.

I also wanted to add that the reason I know this is because they made me sign a second contract a month or so after started. I told them let me look at it, and I saw the different job title. This is where I knew something was up.

Finally when I tried to quit, they started demanding a 15,000 RMB penalty for giving them less than three months notice. It's not written in the contract, but in the "handbook", to which the contract says you must follow. I did not pay this penalty. I threatened to get the police and labor department involved. I got out without paying, but just barely.

Bottom line, do not work for this company, ever. They are poison. They are vile. Oh and they pay non whites less than whites. I found that out right after I quit. All of this is just the worst stuff. There was endless other lies, cheating, deception, and cruelty going on daily.
