Hello all! I want to update everyone on the status of Hampson as an employer.
They are a totally corrupt business who shouldn't be able to operate at all. It is surprising they still here.

They do not supply Z-Visas but tax their workers. Take 40 teachers, 35 are working illegally there.

If they don't pay enough under the table or they anger one of their employees off enough to cause trouble with the authorities, you get blacklisted from China, they pay a small fine.

They provide neither social or personal health insurance, which is why your taxes are being taken. They're stealing your money full-stop.

If you don't work 15-20 hours plus on the weekends, you will get virtually no hours, and they pay the lowest hourly wages of all the chain schools. And they charge more than Wallstreet for their courses.

You will not make 20,000 RMB without working 45 hours a week plus...but

Hours are given politically and based on who the sales girls like the most.

Well over half the employees aren't native speakers, but honest Chinese parents are told they are.

Do not under any circumstance work for Hampson - they are dead last for English chain schools in China.

If you are working there now, take your last paycheck and leave - go to English First, Wallsteet, New Oriental, etc

It's great that foreign teachers have given their opinions here, but if you have complaints about Hampson English and really want them to be heard, create a baidu account, and write them in Chinese so that potential customers know what is really happening.

I agree with some of what you say. I want to point out a fact that should be obvious; no matter how educated you may be, no matter how many degrees you may have(even for English) unless you are a native born English speaker, you are never ever going to be able to teach oral English as well as a person without any qualifications at all; therefore, it's not disgraceful employing native English speakers, not capable of obtaining Z Visas because they don't havee degrees, but it is certainly disgraceful in doing what this school is doing, palming off non native speakers as the real thing, be they legally qualified or not.
