Not to Be Repeated

Working with EIL Ecuador was a big mistake. At first, it seemed like a good opportunity with a lot of help and support, both with the home stay and the job front. However, one I had found my job, there was little to no support.

They were also "recruiters", which meant they were taking a cut of my profit for their "services". Their services that were practically nonexistent. There were various instances where I had problems with the school. For example, they weren't holding up their end of the deal with scheduling, help with class discipline (I worked at a private school and the discipline was horrendous), and help finding housing. When I accepted the job they said they would help me find a place to live, but then they never did. Thankfully I worked with a girl that let me live in her room. Then there were times where we weren't paid for weeks and weeks on end. They told us using the program would ensure on time payment, but it really created more problems.

They also made getting our last paycheck very difficult and had treated many of the other teachers from my group very disrespectfully and unprofessionally. It is not a place I would recommend.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM!
