Svantaggi
I have worked at this place for years now but I see the owner very selfish and greedy. They take advantage of instructors and use them as full time while hire them as part time. If a student cancel the class They charge the student and take all the money for themselves if that student don't schedule the make up class. This is not fare for the instructor to sit in the class and not get paid while the student already paid. With more that 12 rooms and 12 instructors teaching at the same time there was no kitchen in the whole Academy! Teachers had to eat outside or in their room which makes the rooms stink. There was only one bathroom in the entire Academy which sometimes I had to stay In the line instead of teaching and that made the student's parents complain but I had to use the bathroom! I do think the company is very abusive and they have no principles. They abuse poor musicians to become richer. They give no benefit. NO VACATION, NO HEALTH INSURANCE even if you work more than 32 hours a week. The owner literally asked me many times to give ride to other teachers to the bart station which made my trip 10 minutes longer going back to home without any compensation. They made me refill the 5 gallon water and put in the dispenser in my free time without compensation which caused backache. Because of this tough situation the instructors leave very quick and a few stay but none are happy to be there! Since I left that Academy after years I feel better and happy working in other music academy near by which they are at least professional and not abusive!
