I worked there for 2 years. It was a good experiance. It is never going to win employer of the year, but then again you are working for a Franchise English School in China. However, it is by no means a disaster area where the boss is deliberately out to rip you off or mess you around.
I always got paid on time, were paid what was agreed and their visas were up to date and legitimate. And the school was helpful and it was
a pleasent place to work.
Of course it's a business, and some business decisions will always take precedent over academic issues, which is hard to understand sometimes.yet I would challenge anyone to give an example of a school in any sector that isn't concerned about money/business.
The teaching staff at Shane are great. Ok the place is not 100% heaven, but trust me you could do a lot, lot worse.
