Review:
•Was poorly managed / organized
•Did Not treat their employees appropriately
Comments:
I was fired from YES Youngdo after only three months there. When I arrived there I received no training or orientation. It was basically, here are the books look at them and you will be teaching the next day. After adjusting to the way things were I thought I was doing ok. Then out of the blue after two months the branch manager pulled me aside and said that I was doing everything wrong and that if I did not fix it I would be fired in a month. Nothing was said to me before hand about my teaching. Some of their reasons for firing me were that I spent too much time on homework, even though we were told to spend more time. I was also getting blamed for some of my students leaving. When I asked my students why they were leaving a couple said because they were moving. The other reason I was being released was because the branch manager felt like they have been too easy on previous teachers and that some that were currently employed there should have been fired so she was trying to set the example with me. They did nothing to help me improve, so I was released. I feel that this campus is particularly bad because of the branch manager. She seems to not know what is going on at all, and have no idea how to run the school. She seems to only function irrationally and mean. So I would recommend that if anyone is thinking of working for YES Youngdo that they stay away from this campus.
Overall, I recommend working for this school: NO
Year of employment: December 2008 - Feburary 2009
