I also worked at Inlingua Avellino and it was the worst teaching experience I have ever had.
It was a traumatic experience, especially since it was my first teaching job abroad and it almost put me off teaching forever. Luckily, I went on to work in Spain and I love teaching EFL.
DON'T work for these people they are really awful, manipulative and intimidating.
Everything John says is right - no block hours at all - you work 6 days a week - you start at 8am and won't leave til 10pm - not paid for cancellations - no holiday pay and when they do pay you, they pay you late and make you wait weeks - no training given in fact when I arrived there from the airport I was told to put my luggage in the office and I was hurried down the hall to give a class!
I'm sure other Inlingua schools are OK, but not this one!
