The other thing is, although you are a freelancer, Berlitz has fought to the highest court and won the point that you can only work for them. This place is the McDonalds of language schools. You are a freelancer which means they don't have to do anything for you and they won't.they just want warm bodies to sit in front of the customers. They will also "fire you" when they learn you are working for another school which you have to do due to their fickle scheduling, or they'll accuse you of stealing customers when you have private students. They "expect" you to be "available" to them whole day and when you're not, they will stop giving you courses. You might work 2 hours at 8am, then nothing until 2pm, then after 90 minutes with nothing to do another 3 hours 5:30-8:30. In addition to full-time unpaid active, not passive, training of over a week, they lure you in with an assurance to pay travel time and reimburse travel costs and then don't because "that's not what they offered you".check the contract, it's not in there! This time last year, new teachers were paid 13,80 for 45 minutes, that may have changed so they can stay competitive, but it's unlikely unless the union had a go - which is good for you then! When you do get a raise, it's only when the union contract is renegotiated, it's. I can't believe more people don't bitch about this company, if for no other reason than to warn our fellow expats to go elsewhere!
