| At my center you were expected to work 50-60 hours per week, if you brought up the issue, managment would make vague promises of overtime time pay or flex-time off in the future, which never actually occurred. One teacher pushed the issue and was marked for elimination. |

You keep saying 'elimination'. Do you mean that the teacher is fired or does Goofy come around at put a single bullet in the back of their skull when they least expect it? |

All I can say is that I worked in centers in two different cities, and that never happened. We got paid overtime for every class we taught above our contract hours, or for volunteering to work holidays/days off. Also, I got a huge bonus when they asked me to relocate.
But: I didn't work in Beijing, which I hear is a little more crazy and disorganized than Shanghai. I was also fortunate to have really good managers. It sounds like that wasn't the case for you, which makes things really hard. That's a bit of the risk of working for chain schools, though. They're kind of like the fast food chains of the ESL world. |

I'd be curious to see Disney's opinion of you and what are your teaching credentials? |

| I think Disney is one of the very few places that pays for over time hours. I have a friend working there and she likes it. Then again every location has different managers so maybe you got the bad egg? |
