      Best experience ever!

      Pros

      Your experience will depend on where you are placed e.g. school/city/prefecture/housing. I had a wonder time on JET, I was fortunate enough to work with some great teachers, students and a supportive BOE. The pay on JET is by far the best you'll get when working in Japan. There are no bonuses for ALT's but the base pay is higher than most places you'll find in Japan. Seeing students enjoy your classes is very rewarding.

      Cons

      This will depend on where you are placed, school management, students, the number of schools you are placed to go to. I had a positive experience so can't really comment
