In response to Feedback on DWW English Guangzhou (Coming to China)

Split schedules with fines for being late - I would not work there!

I found this on from a google search. I left out the first paragraph:

DWW English can't keep teachers, here's why - they lie...a lot. The most obvious: Scheduling.

You will be working an early morning-late afternoon split schedule. 3 of 3 teachers were on this schedule when the author was there. They will say it is only a temporary situation - they are lying. You will be working a split schedule indefinitely, or whenever needed, and you will be fired if you can not.

Off-location jobs are common, as is working in two different training centers in the same day. The training centers are 7 Metro stops apart and you need to transfer. You are not paid for travel costs or time.

In addition to horrid scheduling, DWW English deducts pay from their foreign teachers for being late - even 1 minute late. It's in the contract.

Charges are as follows:

1-5 minutes late: 80 RMB
6-20 minutes late: 150 RMB
21-30 minutes late: 250RMB
31 minutes or more 500 RMB

Afternoon split schedule starts at the peak of rush hour. You will run a minute at times.

Every time you do you will be charged $13. The office staff, though seemingly sweet, is absolutely merciless.

Other negatives about DWW English Guangzhou: The training centers are only two rooms and empty (no more than 50 students total go there), David pays only 500 RMB per visa - teachers take care of the making the visa, the contract has 18 deductions to your pay, but doesn't one bonus.

Lastly, the bathrooms are actually in the tiny centers - toilet paper isn't allowed to flushed , resulting in the training centers often smelling like feces.

At the time this was written, summer 2013, DWW English had no teachers who had been teaching there for over 3 months. This speaks volumes on the work environment DWW English Guangzhou offers.

You will have to delude yourself into thinking how you're being treated by DWW English Guangzhou is acceptable - it's absolutely not.

In short - Do not waste any time with DWW English Guangzhou.
