Hi,
Has anybody worked with Berlitz in Istanbul? What are the working conditions like? I've read the info packet and it says that you are expected to work 6 days a week and can't get your vacation time until after a year and have signed on for another year. BUT the pay seems pretty good. I'd love to know some experiences that people have had.
Thanks! |

| Stay away from this place. Six days a week is slavery and asking a person to sign another year contract to get the vacation they have earned via previous service is crap. Run. |

| Although Berlitz is one of the better language centers, you should try to find a better deal. This place is owned and run by a power hungry, untrustworthy monster. He will treat you like a sweatshop employee. The only good things about Berlitz are the some of the teachers and most of the students. |
