Having worked there for a number of years here's my 2 Baht's worth.

From my very recent experience all of the above are still true.
3. no insurance promised, never given
4. completely misleading work assignments
7. last minute work projects that keep changing every 5 minutes

1. Don't profess to know every teacher ,but the dozen or so I know have theirs. It certainly wasn't hassle free and took longer than it should have, but issued nevertheless.
2.Hasn't happened to me. You need to ask yourself why it was cut. I would expect taking time off.
3. Have had mine for all of these years and the other teachers I know have theirs.
4.You are assigned to a school and assigned a subject where you expressed proficiency. You are given assistance with lesson plans and lesson themes. The rest is up to you.
5. There were a couple of self-proclaimed ex-CIA types, but they were soon outed. One bloke wrote MICROPHONE on a piece of paper and handed it around while pointing at the ceiling of the teachers' room. The same guy writes his PIN on the back of his ATM cards, so you go figure.
6. While the school is open you do all your work there. When it's closed you go to the office. Not unreasonable to expect you to go to work for your pay!!
7. Completely wrong! They change every 4 minutes.
8. Average plus for an agency.
9. Teachers having double standards???
10. Why???
11. You are given a contract to read, you can then discuss/negotiate any changes [you most likely won't get everthing you want, but try anyway]. If after that you still think it's dodgy, WALK AWAY go somewhere else. If you sign it, you have accepted so you can't say it's dodgy.
Al in all:- do your job, keep your nose clean and they are OK

Haven't worked there, but judging from the tone of your post, wouldn't want to either...
