This is a serious warning for any teachers who are thinking of coming to Shanghai China to teach for a company called "Shanghai BSK Dalue" or "Pacican" or "CCIEE-Shanghai Branch". This company has posted job openings all over the Internet, and like many others, I got suckered into actually believing what the "web-sites" passed off as a reputable company with a real plan. If you do your checking, the sites all run in a circle, leading you to no real answers. The truth is they have built quite a network to hide the fact they are working illegally under the table using pay-offs and friends to keep in business. The "Academy" is actually two small rooms in the back of a restaurant, the administrative staff absolutely no background in teaching or education, and they continuously break international copyright laws by photocopying every book they can get their hands on, then re-naming it as if it was their own.
I am currently still under contract with them, but that is my fault. They constantly change what things in their "CONTRACT" mean, they have fired great teachers who were screwed out of a "DEPOSIT" this company withholds (15% every month of your salary) because the clauses they put in their contracts leaves you wide open to what they deem is a good teacher.
I have watched too many good teachers start here with this company get screwed and left with nothing to show to sit by and let this happen to anymore teacher actually wanting a good experience here in China. Out of 3 years of teaching in China, this is absolutely the worst company I have ever seen or heard of. PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!!
