Dear ovanhoo25,
I am sorry to tell you that my opinion about them is very objective. I have suffered these people from this company for two years until I decided to quit it and I have to tell you that I was not the only one.All my VIF colleges spoke crap about them too. They have different business, one of them is recruiting teachers, another leasing the teachers cars at a high price, selling you a crappy insurance ( which is suppossed to be full coverage) and then, when your car gets stolen, they try to get away with your money. I had a collegue whose car got stolen and they ignored her. She did not have money to buy a new car and her principal who felt really sorry for her, called VIF and yelled at them, after a few days she finally got some money back. It is just a shame what they do. They lease you cars which are suppossed to be new and they break down, they have the paint burnt and they charge you soooooo much money for them. I did not give them any business with the cars, insurance... They chased me around like foxes to a hen telling me all kind of bullshit ....that it was one the contract that I signed, that getting the insurance was mandatory.... They are thieves!
Yes, it is true that they provide you the flight ticket, on your first year with them,but they make a lot of money out of you! You get paid less money that the other teachers with the same experience and units of professional development. Why??????
Then the return plane ticket is not on the dates you tell them and they try to ask u more money if you want it on a different date, or you have to wait one month until the school is over! and you do not have time to go to your home country.
So for all of this, I can say that I am objective or at least I had a horrible experience with them . VIF never again!
If you want to teach abroad, find a different program or company! Good luck!
