[quote=GUEST15253,604986]I would STRONGLY recommend not working for Rockies. My husband and I taught for them for a year and it was a terrible experience. They told us that we would be in a kindergarten in Chengdu - when we arrived we found that we were actually in a tiny little farming town about 2 hours away from the town. Neither of us had ever taught before and we received two days of training before being left in the town, with no support from Rockies and about a quarter of the materials (flashcards, textbooks etc.) that they promised us. They kept telling us that more would be coming, but they never did. Rather than working in one school we were expected to run all over town, teaching at a different kindergarten every morning and afternoon and sometimes in middle and high schools too - basically doing whatever was asked at the drop of a hat with no respect for our time or the students, as we were hardly able to plan our lessons properly. When we left they tried to claim that we hadn't completed our contract (we had) and fought with us for two months over whether to pay our bonus. If I hadn't kept a complete email and message trail we would never have got it. They also delayed sending the documents we needed to get a visa with a new company, meaning that we had to leave China to be able to change employers. It was awful. I might have thought this was a one off except a friend of ours then took a contract with them and had almost exactly the same experience.[/quote]
