I'm thinking of applying for a teaching job at the DD Dragon schools in Taiwan. I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with the company. If so:

1. Is it a reputable employer?

2. What have been your experiences teaching at the schools? What were the working conditions like?

DD Dragon is not a school they are a recruiter. Don't use a recruiter.
I have numerous reports on this institution all bad and some really bad. Stay away.

Dear Readers,

While it may be true that DD Dragon is a recruiting agency, it is my understanding that DD Dragon had their own schools.

It seems they also published their own materials--which they offered "for sale" to other language schools.

A South African agency(rip off)
You will be shipped out to a Joy/Hess/Kid Castle/??
Some are ok,depending on the owner and the location.You will most likely go to a small place where no-one else wants to go.
Unfortunately,DD are more interested in your money,nt$ 10000(?) deducted for the first 3 months,plus what the school pays.
You can do better.
So be warned!!
