0 stars to Berlitz in general, not just this location. The one in my city is desperate for new teachers and told me they would love to have me. I was then asked to attend training for 2 weeks, AKA skip my university courses for 2 weeks. I knew I could do it if I didn't miss any more for the rest of the semester and said yes. I was told they would reserve me a place immediately.
Instead, 2 weeks later, I was called by the director of Berlitz in my center and told he was sorry, but a place for me couldn't be reserved and they chose only 1 of us to go. I thought, "Well why didn't they try to reserve the places BEFORE the deadline? Then this wouldn't have happened and we all could have gone." I later found out they had given the 1 opening to the guy I recommended the job to...who isn't even a native speaker.
A month later I get a call from Berlitz again out of the blue after not hearing from them since. "We would still love to have you, please go to training in 2 weeks": I stupidly agreed. I should have known after the first issue that something was wrong. I went to training, missed 2 weeks of classes, and paid my own travel and food costs. Luckily, my hotel costs were covered. But the others rode the train 3 hours a day for 2 weeks because Berlitz didn't want to pay for them all to have a hotel.
The trainer and I seemed to see things differently and I could tell she didn't like me. I was exhausted from traveling there and being expected to sit 8 hours a day in their training classes. She took my constant yawning and stretching as me being lazy and not wanting to be there in the first place (why would I have bothered coming if I didn't want to be there?), told me this, and made me cry.
I finished the 2 tough weeks of "training" and came back and made an appointment with Berlitz to sign the contract. I arrive and the director says he was sorry, but the trainer didn't write a positive report about me and they wouldn't hire me after all.
I lost about 200€ and 2 weeks of my time because of Berlitz. 0 costs will be reimbursed. I am fine with it because the language center teachers here don't work so many hours anyways and I will eventually find something better, but I am just more upset at the fact that she had written down after week 1 that she didn't find me "compatible" with Berlitz and let me spend time and money to go to week 2 anyways. There is a reason why my mates in training kept telling me Berlitz has a bad reputation in all of their cities. And now I understand why.
I am never going near anything associated with Berlitz again.
