I've had dealings with them in the past - They want people who are
young, naive, and able to be pushed around - has western middle management which closely follows the CCP model - ie do what we say or either be shot or look for another job.

Need I elaborate ......give them the big miss .........better jobs and employers in town.

Lao,

Many thanks. I'm old, worldy and won't be pushed by anyone....except my wife. I don't really need the work, just looking for something to keep me out of the gutters. I've had my share of this type and sure don't want any more.

Danke, gracias, merci bien, xie xie.

That place is run by ken carrol from Chinese Pod isnt it / he seems like a decent enough fellow in his pod casts. He has been in china for a long time, and managed to start several business so he must have the chinese capitalistic nature ingrained in him Exclamation They also seem to pay poorly for being in shanghai & being a training center. I have seen some of their advertisements offering 6-7k.

I went round and round with them a couple of times while I was in China (2003-2008) and looking for a new position, but ultimately decided twice, to pass. They didn;t pass the smell test with me.

do not go anywhere near this place at the moment.

they are not paying staff on time (or at all) and a few other things beside.

management and trainers have left to be replaced by...ummm...nothing.

avoid avoid avoid.

pm for details if you want them

Completely agree. I still haven't been paid for work I did for them in May.
