No employer is perfect, but very few have a reputation as bad as Huizhou University. There is no smoke without fire as they say. The truth lays in the fact that this employer has a serious problem with employee turnover and attracting new teachers.
The negative comments are not the work of a sole disgruntled employee, but the majority. If you ever want to work at a decent place in China again, I would advise you to stay away from this university. It's reputation in China is among the very worst. It would leave a black mark on your CV which would be difficult to overcome or explain away to future employers.
The person who posts as Andre G is a Canadian guy named Andre G[edited]. He is paid by Lucy H[edited] (Director of FAO) to post these things on the internet. He is the puppet of his Chinese masters.
Do not fall for this scam. There are many language schools in Huizhou. Even teachers at the English Mills (EF, etc.) stay well clear of this place.

Let's guess which university is having a difficult time recruiting new teachers for the next semester?

To whoever asked for an honest review: I worked at this university for 7 years, and am returning soon. I've lived in China for a decade. I can honestly say that Huizhou University is a great employer. Are they perfect? Of course not. But through all the time I was there I was treated fairly, given a reasonable work load, and paid on time. No one (whether in China or anywhere) will find a perfect employer unless they are self-employed, but I would recommend Huizhou University to anyone interested in working in China.
More importantly, please don't let one person's negative feelings sour you to any school in China. Just ask for the names, emails, or phone numbers of current employees from any school then call the foreign staff directly to get first hand accounts. It is the safest way to find a good employer.
Hope that helps.
