I was looking at a job at by "Kiosk International College" on tefl.com. The link takes you directly to the Doga Koleji website.

I have read quite a few bad comments about this school here. Is it really that bad or are those just posts by former teachers who have been fired??
Anyone here actually still working for them? Any good opinions about the school?

From what I understand there are lots of drawbacks such as a poorly run administration. It's probably hit or miss though. You could get good co-workers or bad co-workers. Good students or bad students. At least if you do your research you'll know what you're getting yourself into. A lot of people cut their teeth there and then move on to bigger and better things.
