Tamborista said:They all get paid the same, don't forget ROOM and BOARD is included.
I applied for an Animation position @ Chocolate Friends but did not get the job for some reason.
americangirl said:I would think even with Room and Board paid for that they would make more money than that. That is so low, and they work their butts off. I mean they are up at 7am doing stuff at the beach and they do not sleep until after the disco teach is closed. Then they do the shows, and practices, etc. It seems like a lot of work...Plus they are excepted to speak more than one language. They have to be sankies...at 277US a month, they just have to be sankies...it is sad.
You would think places like Hilton and Melia resorts would have enough money to at least pay them 500-1000US a month.
bellissima_81 said:THATS the amount they make for month but u have to remeber that they have no rent to pay , they dont pay for food cuz they eat at work, they dont pay for alchool , so every penny they get is theirs ive heard some of them make with tip included about 5000 to 7000 DR$ every 15 days and they normally get paid on the 15th and the 30th of the month ! so about 14000 DR$ a month wich would be about 466 US$ a month is pretty good knowing u have no rent, food or alchool to pay for and u get a lot of sex!
americangirl said:Yeah i guess you are right. They really have no bills to pay, and after reading the thread on what other people make in the DR, I can see that it is comparable.

americangirl said:So, do all hotels have some form of the chocolate friends? Are they just normal dominican guys that learn how to dance and sing and stuff, or are they generally guys that are already interested in theatre and stuff....
