Pros

Extensive, well-developed training. Support from management and from other teachers/trainers. Fun, speaking-based lessons. Some half-day work days.

Cons

Lots of time spent on developing lesson plans (5+ hours/week). Reviewing lesson plans and prepping for lessons requires extra time. Requires a lot of patience and passion for working with kids, especially those with behavioral and learning challenges. Long commute time depending on where you're placed.

Pros

The distributed team is a mixture of talent and collaboration. Strong leadership, good team work, supportive staff, good pay. The work is challenging and rewarding.

Cons

It's a learning process. A lot of systems and processes seem new and the company is heading into unchartered waters, so there is a learning curve and friction in finding the optimal way forward.

Pros

- Hourly compensation - Good support network, good training - Friendly staff and management

Cons

- Offers very little full-time employment for non-Japanese (teaching staff) - Most teachers employed semi-illegally as "Outside contractors" - Management expects too much from part-time workers in terms of extra activities, availability and hours, which are not well compensated
