Let me update you on my progress here as well as give a few warnings. Getting real meaningful PAID ON TIME employment here has been really hard. If you are an English teacher steer clear of (snipped out the names) as they are really dishonest bad companies to work for here. I learned the hard way. (Snipped name) is closing offices and they have next to no students here. They want to advertise they are hiring and will "train" you but people there said they hadn't been paid in a month. I wasn't told this until after having been there for a couple weeks. They told me my pay day was on such and such a day like 4 different times, only to have that day come and go with no pay. (Snip) did eventually pay after I called their parent company (Snip).

(Snip) basically has you come in and waste your time, they will offer you the "job" knowing they don't really have many clients, then tie you up waiting for another week before finally telling you a contract didn't get signed and the job they offered you, the job that was the reason you stopped looking for other jobs, is no longer available. I think both of these companies are still advertising they are hiring, but it is only done to give their companies the appearance that they have business. This is done at the expense of the unsuspecting teacher who spends their time, money and effort, when the companies themselves know they will in the end essentially "screw" the teacher, because there isn't enough business for them here in Mexico City. Stay clear of these two companies prospective teachers.
