I keep seeing a lot of negative posts about schools, but rarely do I see any praises. Does anyone have a list of "good" schools to work for in any of these cities? That is, more honest than dishonest.
Hangzhou
Nanjing
Dalian
Suzhou
Guangzhou
Beijing
Hefei
etc?

Did you mean all other Chinese cities except those you've listed when you used etc?If so,why didn't you just say 'Chinese cities' instead of listing the ones you did,followed by etc?
As a rule,it's harder for males to get teaching jobs at "good" schools in the better and cleaner of China's cities.That's because many prospective female FT's apply for jobs there,and they are preferred on account of their clearer pronunciation amongst other things,especially if they are white.
I think you'd have been better to specify in more detail the kind of school you're looking for rather than just say "good" school.
Personally,my idea of a "good" school is one with respectful students and Chinese teachers of English who don't interfere in what and how you teach while sticking to the terms and conditions of your teaching contract. Respectful students do not normally come from rich backgrounds,so avoid private schools.Another thing you should be wary of is big classes,which are difficult to teach oral English to.And avoid schools with unsociable teaching hours or mixed classes of adult learners and youngsters.So,forget about training centers.
Public colleges/universities are best.Public middle schools are okay too,but avoid key middle schools - there's too mich pressure on pupils and teachers there,and the classes are very big because the director wants to make as much money as possible.
It's much easier for males to get teaching jobs in big cities like Taiyuan,Shijiazhuang and Jinan.Females know such cities are unattractive and polluted,so they don't look for jobs there as a rule.Don't forget the small cities either.Sometimes they have colleges and middle schools that are a joy to work at.But the chances of getting a second job in that kind of backwater will be slim.
