How is your teaching experience so far?
Do you really have to work 6 hours straight without any breaks?
And if you aren't allowed to tell me which branch, can you please PM me?

What do you hope to accomplish once you've obtained all the information?

Well I would really consider applying to CDI if I get some good feedback. I just wanted to know if anyone was relatively happy with working there or not.

I know a thing or two about the conditions there..............

its more than 6 hours straight w/o a break because you have to arrive early to prep and then stay late to do after class stuff THEN you have to do your grading/inputting at HOME for a couple of hours. Thats unpaid of course.

-Unpaid training
-No national holidays off
-Open all the time- means no summer or winter vacation. you will be working through the xmas/new years when everyone else has it off.
-7 days paid vacation only (for monthy salary contrats)

I dont think they pay for round trip airfare either...might be just one-way....

The starting salaries are not really any better than any other hogwan.

i know someone who started 3 weeks ago, she works M-Th 4-10, F 7-10...Sat and Sun off....she got her new summer schedule and only works M-Th, so she has 3 day weekends. She was surprised that she doesn't have to work weekends, but I guess that's the norm, so she got lucky

Yeah, it depends on the branch/franchise if you have to work on Saturdays.
