Just researching again, and was curious of WinBe. Has anyone here worked for WinBe or know anything about it? Good, bad?

Well, they got something right. I hate teaching in schools where the learners have to stand for 60 minutes... LOL.

I couldn't find a great deal about them with a(n admittedly cursory) search.

They are part of the Tact Group, though I know nothing about that company. They have a school in Fukuoka, although I've never heard of it, despite that fact that I lived there for five years.

I've noticed there hasn't been much about them. I tried a google search as well. I guess that's sort of a good sign, right? ^^

Actually, other posters have said before that there are many threads on here devoted to them if you do a search on Dave's.

From what I have read, they appear a little dodgy.

The main thread I came across, when doing a search here was something about a union formation, but nothing is really all that up-to-date. You know, is it still considered "dodgy", has the company improved, is it the same, etc.

I wish I could know too since I have also applied to them countless times. I am probably "Christmas Cake" to them Crying or Very sad
