Corrupt, oppressive management. Hostile, toxic environment. - werkgeversreview Assistant Professor bij Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center

Corrupt and incompetent leadership, especially in Russian schools. Double standards. Lot's of oppression. Instructors are treated like garbage. School leadership does everything to get rid of professional workforce, because most of the "leaders" are Soviet-era ex-communists who are afraid of losing the only jobs they claim to be able to do in the US. All in all, it feels like a KGB prison: lot's of snitches, liars, and backstabbing. Turnover is so high that the "premier", as they claim, foreign language institute has to hire non-professionals as college teachers. The environment is so hostile that a couple of teachers committed suicide. Others developed depression. And the suicide rate among their students is the highest. Leadership of Russian, Chinese and other schools acts like mafia covering up each other's crimes. I think a private investigation has to be conducted here.
