...Chengdu?

From what I can gather, they act as a sort of agent, but information is thin on the ground. I've done a search on here, but haven't come up with anything.

Cheers.

Yeah,

I live in Chengdu.
Their reputation is the following:
They are a last choice for teaching in Chengdu.
They are not known for paying teachers well, or being clear about where they will work. They can send you far away outside the city and give you a commute of hours. They may or may not tellyou the thruth about important matters. They do usually pay their teachers, and some of the work they assign is easy. But when the teacher gets paid is another question.
This is China, so beware of agencies. better to farm yourself out, and cut out the middleman.

They were good friends of mine in Chengdu, nice people but they pay the lowest salary you'll find. Also their schools are all outside of Chengdu in the former earthquake zone, no doubt some schools were flattened and are all primary or middle schools.
