Curtis, Training Centres only exist to make money and that always compromises the quality of education delivered to students in a variety of ways. Cost minimization is the goal of TC owners (and their managers) and that is usually accomplished by buying cheap textbooks, making teachers teach more classes, lowering salaries, making classes bigger etc etc.

Now i guess you know as well as me that the greediness of the owners of TC's can't be denied, but there is a point at which the business reaches optimum profit making capacity and the need for cost maximisation reduces or stops altogether, but the chinese are notorious for always wanting more so the pressure and drive to make more profit and the dysfunctional measures used to achieve this never really stop. Hence the differences between the working conditions of one TC and another.

Some TC's are therefore good to work for and others truly are pure hell and the attitude toward profit maximisation by the owners and managers being the defining difference.

I'm sure you know this and whether or not you actually care about the welfare of the teachers who work around you, I hope they do post of their experiences here or elsewhere if their contracts terms and conditions were infringed upon at all as for most of us life is not about corporate profit but instead the welfare and enjoyment of life.
