“The Zhongshan branch in Banqiao”

I strongly recommend that everyone stay away!

The manager was unbelievably arrogant—extremely arrogant—and incredibly disrespectful to the interviewee. Within less than five minutes of this manager opening their mouth, you’ll want to leave!

It wasn’t just treating me like the second party; I felt they were practically speaking to me through their nostrils. Their looks, tone, and attitude were full of contempt toward anyone below the manager level, and I couldn’t help rolling my eyes during the interview~

I genuinely couldn’t understand where this uncle got his confidence. This manager was not worthy of anyone’s respect! They had neither basic manners nor respect, acting as though this were the only job left in the entire world, as if the job were something incredibly prestigious.

By the way! Throughout the interview, they also kept making various comments showing their contempt for the teachers and for people doing administrative, back-office, and entry-level work~

I really don’t know what the colleagues at this cram school are like... Well, I admire them!

The company has good facilities and benefits, and provides lunch.

The salary is not commensurate with the workload, and there is unequal pay for equal work. There are cliques in the office, and employees are required to work overtime on holidays without conditions. The work atmosphere depends entirely on your coworkers. There is a serious seniority mindset. New employees have no adjustment or transition period; they are expected to learn everything as soon as they join. Senior employees habitually curry favor with supervisors and bully newcomers. Supervisors will not speak up for new employees—it is always the new employee’s fault. In summary, this is a terrifying place. Run.

Compared with cram schools in general, I personally feel that the company's internal systems are already quite comprehensive. Although there are still some minor shortcomings, considering my own experience and what colleagues in the same industry have shared, YK Education already has a well-established system. Full-time employees receive basic labor rights and benefits, with a five-day workweek (except for occasional special events scheduled on holidays). All classes here are taught by foreign teachers. Like the children, we work in an immersive English environment, which helps improve our English communication and listening skills, among others.

I work as an administrative staff member and Chinese-speaking teacher at a branch in East District, Tainan (the same owner as the Yongkang District branch). There are many course-related activities mandated by headquarters, as well as many competitions initiated by headquarters itself, so naturally there is also a lot of related administrative work. However, the colleagues have a strong sense of teamwork and know how to support one another, so the working atmosphere is very harmonious.

The director is fairly straightforward, but does not make people feel uncomfortable during communication. The director places high demands on work efficiency and quality, seeks innovation and change, and clearly points out our problems or states their own opinions and requirements. The executive assistant also does their best to help everyone communicate and achieve work goals. Although there are inevitably occasional communication blind spots or minor friction, both the director and the executive assistant patiently listen to our thoughts.

There is a shortage of staff, possibly because recruitment is difficult as the salary is genuinely not high compared with some others in the same industry. Part-time employees are covered by group insurance, but do not have labor or health insurance, so this is something to consider carefully. The job operates under a responsibility-based system, with no overtime pay, so you need to improve your efficiency as much as possible and leave work on time.

None

During the interview, foreign teachers with Asian faces were discriminated against.

The job posting on the recruitment website was for a five-month short-term position, but I was told that they were looking for someone for a one-year position.

A waste of time
