I have worked for them PT and had no problems...but friends of mind have had less than good things to say on a full time basis.....I would say on a whole the EF doesnt pay enough to warrent the work in a language mill. CC is cold and hardley worth the effort if you are not making the coin...great group of FT though in CC...keep on lookin and if going to CC get a loose contract with another language mill and teach on the side..somthing that will be difficult with EF.

I have also worked for this particular branch of EF on a part time basis. The teaching was good, the staff are excellent, but the school.. is well... just a school.

When I left the school I was not payed. I know other teachers who have come and gone through their system and had similar problems. Recently I have learnt that they installed a thumb-scanner to make sure the FT's stay in the school for the specified 40hours. Though this is because the teachers don't like to stay there due to the last minute assesment tests.

Form your own opinions though. I like working for language schools, but I will never work for this one again.

A thumb-scanner, eh? Wouldn't put it past them. But why not an old-fashioned time clock? Those naughty teachers punching in and out for each other?
