I've never had, and will never have any intentions of ever working for a Chinese training center. As for my reasons, they are as follows:

1) I do not wish to teach in the evenings nor on weekends.
2) I realize that teaching at training centers is much less secure jobwise than teaching in the public sector, or even at a private school/university.
3) I've no interest in teaching children of elementary school age or younger.
4) I won't take a post involving the preparation of more than two lesson plans per week.
5) I'd detest teaching in an environment where I would be stared at by members of the general public through glass windows.
6) I'm not prepared to go to the local western fast food restaurant, or to that kind of place, in order to market a training center.

Wise oldtimers in China know exactly what's involved in training center work. Like me, they feel that money isn't by any means everything, and much prefer working considerably fewer hours under much less pressure with much more job security in the public sector, though of course for a considerably lower salary. Those who post on this board in favor of training centers seldom go into detail as to what jobs there actually entail. I have done so in order to inform readers who wish to know more.
