Has anyone had any experience with or know anything about Capital English Training Center in Shanghai? I have searched the web and this site and all I have found is the company's website, the English section of which gives away very little about them.

The reason I ask is that I have an interview with them today (I'm currently living in Shanghai and holding a non-teaching job). I will obviously try to ask the right questions and contact other foreign teachers at the school, but if anyone has anything to share that would be greatly appreciated.

It looks as though they want someone to start right away since they are about to restart after the New Year, so any advice on negotiating a salary & contract in such a situation would be appreciated. I have no teaching experience so I have a feeling they will offer me less then 7k RMB/month with apartment and I will demand more and they will not budge and I will not take the job. Thanks in advance.
