Pros

Schools, kids, get a visa.

Cons

They will find housing for you and never show you the paperwork to see if they are really deducting the appropriate amount from you paycheck. Expect to receive less than half of your salary the first few months without explanation. Management has bullied fellow ALTs and threatened to take away visas (illegeal) and kick them out of apartments that are under the ALT's name (illegal).

Pros

JoyTalk not only wants their students to excel, but their employees as well. They supply multiple training sessions throughout the year, as well as monthly meetings where coursework is discussed and teaching skills can be improved. They offer a lot of support, be it at work or in your day-to-day life. I enjoyed my employment with this company and believe they are a great company to be a part of if you wish to teach English in Japan.

Cons

There are no good ways to confront native teachers about their troubling behavior. Besides that, there are no cons to this company.

Pros

The flight was indeed fun.

Cons

Japanese people are clean, polite, and miserable, passive-aggressive crabs in buckets.
