Just thought I'd leave my experience on here as recently there has been several posts regarding peoples negative experiences working for Rockies English School.
I got an ESL job through RES last year in Dalian and despite the general teething problems that most people experience when first arriving in China my experience of working for RES has been very positive. I choose to take a higher salary and rent my own apartment with help from RES teachers. I did not like the first partnered school I was placed in, so within a few days I got a job at a new school which was perfect. My colleagues in Dalian are great, I have a great class in a kindergarten, I enjoy work and I get paid on time. This year I applied for a transfer program to work in Quanzhou. Most of my colleagues and foreign teachers at the school also work for RES and they have all had similar positive experiences.
