Care to elaborate? Where did you hear about them? Did you have any bad experiences with them?

Feel free to accept PMs from people on this subject!

I've seen a few ads for Wall Street Institute in Italy.

Vaguely remember hearing some poor reports. Are they all bad, or just some locations?

To cut a long story short, don't work there.

Trust me that the management leaves much to be desired and their respect for teachers and students is non-existent.

They don't consider your welfare and are only in it for themselves. If they can take advantage of you and work you to the bone and make you pay increasingly higher rent for a very poorly-maintained apartment with a toilet that doesn't work and a roof that leaks when it rains without raising the salary for the past 2 years, they will and they do.

It's a long story and they have treated countless past-teachers the exact same way. Many still live in the town, like myself, but have left the school for better work or had their contracts terminated under the guise of 'economic problems' (I'm talking about myself here - in the notice it says this, to my face they included my friends and gossip about me having a new job as the reasons for the termination). None of us are on good terms with the management and the school has a bad rep among the community.

Again, it's a long story and I could go on and on and on, but I won't.
Just don't work there.
