Avoid like the Plague.
This college is the most incompetent place I have ever worked at in China. They have lied about everything on the contract.
Their communication to the foreign teachers is non existent. They love to quote the contact however do not honor their part on the contract.
They are now attempting in change the contract midway through the semester to charge the foreign teachers for water, electricity and internet.
Bags of raw sewerage are piled up in bags for days outside our apartments. Water is constantly turned off in our apartments for hours without any notice. Internet that was promised to be free, that we are charged for works only half the time.
The administration is a joke, teacher visa were screwed up so much that some foreign teachers had to travel to Hong Kong more than 3 times to get their visa due to the administrations total incompetence. At the teachers on expense!!!!!!!
The foreign teachers are treated worse than second class citizens by the college admin and staff. We are now told that we must perform in a teaching competition that is mandtory and if we don't perform we will have pay deductions.
Foreign teachers are evaluated by popularity of the students to get a so called bonus, which nobody has seen. This might be due to the admin instructing students to give poor teacher reviews. The students are the only honest people at the college.
They have changed the college name to Fuzhou University of International Studies and Trade. Maybe in an attempt to escape bad reviews.
The worse thing for me is that I am now being charged for water use whereby there are constant leaks in the pipes to my apartment that the school will not fix hence I am paying for their incompetence. When this was brought up at a meeting I was told, "too bad."
If you are thinking of working at this college, please think again. You will be constantly told how bad foreign teachers are and the conditions will constantly decline. Be prepared to have you pay deducted with no notice for reasons beyond your understanding and you will be given a couple of hours’ notice that certain paperwork (in Chinese) will be due and if not completed you will have consequences........
Avoid this place like the plague.
Oh and the college is 90mins outside of Fuzhou in a counrty farming area with next to nothing around.
