A Scam Enabling Illegal Foreign Workers to Get Visas by Pretending to Be Students
Former employee, more than 1 year
Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook
Pros
Pays above minimum wage, although when you factor in the unpaid time preparing for lessons and dealing with tests and the unpaid time between classes, the pay is not as good as it first appears. Also, the schedule will not allow full-time work since the classes might be spread out with plenty of unpaid dead time in between.
Cons
The boss is unfriendly and highly abusive. Fully 70% of the students fail to meet the legally required minimum threshold for attendance and passing grades; they pretend to be students so they can work in the US illegally. Out of the approximately 600 students that I taught over almost two years, only about six had any genuine desire to learn English. Moral is poor and staff turnover is rapid. Although some students are nice, many are abusive and disrespectful toward the teachers because the owner enables bad behavior, since the paying "customers" rank more highly than the disposable "teachers". This place is worse than many of the scam English academies in San Francisco. Avoid this school like the plague. Also, poor ventilation in the windowless classrooms has led to tuberculosis problems in the past, and with COVID, working at this fire-trap of a building will probably lead to your death. Is it worth risking death to work for a scam operation whose only purpose is to profiteer off of illegal foreign workers stealing jobs from poor Americans like yourself?
