Pros
Teachers can work with a wide array of students including adults and very young children. The textbooks aren't bad, and after working there for a few months you won't need to do more than 30 minutes of preparation per class. For most classes you'll have what they call a "Chinese teacher" who will help you.
Cons
Little to no training. They want you ready to entertain and control a large group of children from day 1. Unsupportive environment where asking questions for any reason is discouraged. There's tension between the Taiwanese teachers and the foreign teachers. There's a lot of pressure to constantly entertain the children. If a child complained about being bored, I got a talking to from the boss.
