GPEX No no no - 2015-11-23

Yes the place has gained notoriety as an unscrupulous bookseller, education provider, employer. The so-called 'bosses' of the company - the "B", "E", "L" are some of the most untrustworthy and manipulative people ever. It's a norm for the company (with a staff of about 12) to have 7,8 teachers resigning in a year. They are especially known to give grandiose promise of company expansion, oh we have investors from mainland China and HONG KONG and several partnerships within the country so we'll be going into the Northern Malaysian market, Kuala Lumpur, Vietnam, other parts of SEA, HK and China. So far this is just to duped the staff into thinking they have a future there and for not getting any bonus or any sort of incentives in the company. Watch out for the company in terms of pay, they are a tight paymaster as they are dishonest. There is no allowance for the frequent travelling among schools and no health/dental coverage. Your pay is what you get minus the few ringgit off which they don't think you'll notice from the pay check. They are also known to coerce new teachers into accepting a much lower pay under the impression that there will be an adjustment after the 3-month probationary period. That day of salary adjustment will never come. They will also give projects (at the very last minute) like slide preparation for teacher training and conducting workshops to teachers with the promise of a certain fee, which they won't honour. Other than that, the management is known to bad mouth colleagues to each other to create tension among them. Somehow they think a disunited staff would divert the attention away of how dysfunctional the company is.

Sundays are treated as any other days in this place, most teachers have to work Sundays (no compensation given), there is also no extra work hours claim, teachers needing to do photocopying have to pay out of their pockets and the moment you start work in this company, you have your personal phone number (where the bill is foot by you) distributed/plastered on notices given to parents and students. So on and off you will accept calls, on your personal mobile phone, of angry parents who got cheated by the company or students who haven't gotten their t-shirts or certificates. Be mindful also if you do not corporate with the management, things can get nasty, tHe 'B' - [edited] is known to cut away one's privileges at work (transport or give untruthful references to your future employer) among other things. [edited]

I very strongly agree with the writer of this post to STAY AWAY from this company, it is illegal, they keep changing company names, there are no teaching permits granted for the teachers, they don't pay/treat teachers well.
