      Great place to work

      Pros

      Culturally diverse, has good values and actually follows them. You work in a job where you know you are making the world a better place and can look at yourself in the mirror in the morning. Good opportunities if you want to travel or build a career in cultural relations. Good chance to move sideways and develop

      Cons

      Some senior managers need an MBA. Marketing is disorganised and weak because of lack of commercial focus and experience by staff

      Pros

      -Opportunities for self-development with the DELTA and other courses. -A good name on your resume.

      Cons

      -Didn't pay properly, and management chased me round in circles about it before ignoring me completely. It is *giving the impression that* that mistakes have been made and no one is willing to admit to them (I do not know for certain). I am now considering contacting the Korean Labor Board about them. -Management blames others for their mistakes. -Some of the materials in the curriculum were not level appropriate, and very little time to adapt it. Refusals to believe that the books or children have been levelled incorrectly, and criticisms from managment about your time management when you put in the neccessary extra time (extra to the designated prep time) to adapt the materials.
