All you say, I found to be true from my short time with them. From that experience and speaking to others with longer experience I would advise if any teacher is thinking of working for about 6000 after tax and other deductions on 8000 for a 40 hour week, just be careful of one person, a certain Candy an ageing spinster who has been rumoured to be the evil genius behind this iffy venture. She will be sickenly nice to you as she lies about everthing but can change her colors at a stroke. She is supposed to be only in charge of foreign teachers but nevertheless thought to be one of the owners. If you are looking for a warm friendly experience in China this not the place Buddy.
