Pros

Easy to get hired. They will hire anyone.

Cons

Overcrowding and small schools. Management is very shady. When asked if I wanted to be on the health insurance, I was told they would deduct the entire amount from my pay. Not pay half like it's mandated by the law. Breaks are nonexistent. The contracts are worded to get through loop holes in the Japanese laws. The curriculum is a joke. Constant surveillance by the office staff through the cameras in the school. Japanese staff is usually underpaid and taken advantage of. Paid holidays are forced on the days of their choosing. If you are looking for a job, contact the local Fukuoka union and they will warn you about this school.

Pros

Honestly nothing good to say about the place.

Cons

Unpaid overtime, undocumented hours, over crowding, terrible lesson structure, high turnover rate, underpaid, no breaks (even though it's stated in the contract that you have breaks), power harassment, the list goes on and on.
