Berlitz pays extremely little in Saudi.

Hey Waterloo,
You seem to be very absolute about Berlitz. Even though my experience with them was very good in the U.S.A. ( economically, and administration wise), due to the fact that I had language specific clients, for which Berlitz had no other choice at that time but to accept my terms of service.
I have an offer, which is in the neighborhood of Sr. 11300-12000/month plus Apt, etc,etc. I have heard/read many similar comment's, and am beggining to think I'm the only one in the world with a positive impression of my particular Berlitz center, that was in a major city of the U.S. I would appreciate any more info, or advice you can offer as far as who is good, and who is bad in the KSA. Primarily I prefer the Middle East because of it's proximity to Greece, where I prefer to live. Thanks for your time.

Regards.

Nick Prentzas.

P.S. My email is [email protected]

So much has been mentioned already on these places a simple search will show that;in saying that I'd say that it's well known and accepted that
Direct English,
Berlitz,
Wall Street,
English First are amongst the worst! Slave drivers and pay pittance!!! In saying that, if you're not bringing much to the table then that may be your only bet. Don't think that it's a way in as even once employed with these people they will hardly ever allow you to work for another employee after them and will promptly kick u out of the Kingdom!
