I too worked at Lingdong Foshan I had trouble with my pay, my visa and my apartment.
I also was quite upset by the amount of lies they told too. The lack of comunication and management was also frustrating if you had a problem you had to email someone who is not even in the country and wait for a reply, which could take days. Also the my manager had no people skills ,her style of management was if I shout loud I am right. Another thing that got me angry was the fact they wanted to change my contract mid way through it. Also to keep them to their word in the contract was a huge fight things like the apartment and small things too.
The whole experiance left a bitter taste in my mouth. What they advertised was very diffrent to what you get. They don’t tell you the first month they will not pay you the full monthly pay they will pay you per hour which is a fraction of what you would normally get paid they will also take a deposit from you which could be anything from 3000-5000rmb over 6 months (which is against the law here) also they will try make you live in the school dorm which is out at the school I worked at which is a room(kitchen livingroom and bedroom) and a WC all in the size of a prison cell. Above the school school next to a highway in the middle on an industrial area with no shops at all. If you want your own apartment you will have to pay for the deposit so you will end up paying money to work for them the first month or staying in a waste land with nothing around.
My advise to anyone who is going to work for this or any school like this is to ask for all thier policies as most of the time they are not in the contract as no-one would say yes to them
Ask about sick leave as this school was only going to give 8hrs a term I heard.
Ask about medical insurance as I heard they didn’t have any for the teachers.
Ask about which months are fully paid and which aren’t.
Keep your contract close by so if they try to not pay you for something or try to change it you have it.
My boyfriend and I had a horrible time at Lingdong with the management but meet some really nice people who will still keep in contact with.
Just be carefull as these kind of schools will apear nice till you get there and till there is a problem then it all falls apart.
Network ESL are the best provider of quality teaching positions in China by far.
I have been here for over 4 years and have tried most of the pathetic Chinese recruiters – who are simply young Chinese graduates with no experience, no relationships with schools only out to make a quick buck off your hide
Network ESL is a licensed company in China and for the past 7 years has placed over 10000 teachers – all over China.
I recommend them from personal experience and those experiences of other teachers I have taught with or meet along the way, all of us view NETWORK ESL qualities as:
- They have Foreign Managers – so essentially they have people who understand your cultural needs and requirements. And can communicate with you in a manner you can understand
- Prompt professional email, skype and phone replies
- Always on hand to answer queries or to solve issues that may arise
- They are in China and understand China
- Have very close working relations with schools
- Provide full detailed descriptions of positions available
I could go on and on, suffice to say PM me for more information if you like.
Go with NETWORK ESL – they are the only secure choice left when seeking to teach in China
Cheers,
Kev
I had a positive experience with Network ESL.
They got me into a good university position for my first year in China.
Also one of their managers gave me some quite neutral and constructive advice about teaching in China. There are some pitfalls out there.
