They are three companies that work together and the management is not to be trusted. I worked for them for over a year and I would never work for them again. They made it very difficult for me to leave. In March they refused to give multiple entry visas to us because they were afraid we would leave and not come back. They also do not give letters of no objection. Even though its supposed to be no longer a requirement to have that letter, jobs are still asking for them.

They seem to have no problem breaking their written agreements and contracts because they know that it is virtually impossible for you to do anything about it. The court system here is extremely slow and difficult for a non arabic speaker.

When I took the job, every person I met who had worked for them (3 people) told me they would screw me over, but they didn't say how. Now I know.

The job was easy (they don't expect much from you), and although the working conditions weren't great, the site directors were generally cool people. They pay you on time, but they will try to swindle you out of what they owe you on your paycheck. The administration (the ones who make the decisions) are greedy and unprincipled people. I don't want to go into details on here but they are NOT to be trusted. They screwed me out of several thousand dollars in the end.

There seems to be a real strong network of extreme muslims from Britain and the USA there. I have heard some of them say and do some nasty things to some non-muslim teachers they didn't like. If you do take the job, then its best to keep to yourself, and trust NO ONE at that company, not even the other teachers who befriend you.

What exactly did they do to you? Your site director was good to you, you went to work and got paid on time. What's the problem?
