Hi everyone,

I'm considering applying for a job with Wall Street China. Has anyone had any experiences working for them? I believe they are one of the big chains in China.

Thanks so much!

Haven't worked for one but was interviewed at one in Shandong.
My impressions:
Big
Prescriptive - almost evangelical, but resources good
Anal about teacher creativity
Mix of class type and some one-on-one
Classes and offices well appointed - at least in Qingdao
Degree and exp needed
Would drive me nuts

The Wall Street English I saw a few years ago looked like a glass fish bowl placed in a mall for all to gather around and watch.

I felt sorry for the female entertainer who had literally dozens of spectators with their noses to the windows watching her performance.*

*That was her first and only class; she quit after that.

The QD one isn't on street level but anyone on the floor could see into all the rooms.

The fishbowl analogy is apt. It's all part of the marketing/sales machine, which is a big reason they're so successful.

Anyway, this is a bit of a repetitive thread as there are several already about WSE. There's even one on this forum's front page.
