Aston is a bit of joke.
Last summer I went for an interview in regards to one of their summer sessions. When we chatted on the phone it was one set of conditions. Only three weeks and not full time and we will pay about 12,000.
THIS WHY YOU READ YOUR CONTRACT!
Well it was 22 days total of work from Monday to Friday. He was right it wasn't full time, it was 38.5 hours of contact time a week. So you had 30 minutes to prep for a total of 4 classes everyday.
7.5 hours x 22 days = 72.7 RMB an hour (great pay)NOT
You stay in a shared apartment, but no chance of getting a housing allowance.
I was dealing with the country wide recruiter. So I also got a sales pitch about what a great school Aston is, and about their corporate culture.
For a short summer session it might be a good deal for some one out of the area, however the job was still misrepresented in the phone call.
This is just my person opinion, but all the laowaiI have met that worked for Aston in a "management" position are TOOLS!
To the original poster, well that is just Chinese management style!
