Has anybody had any expereience working for WC? Like to hear how it went just filling in their online application form and this was an afterthought. Are they good to work with? Are the salary and benefits worth it?

Ive had a few friends who worked for them, they sound quite good to be honest. They work you quite hard I think (but nothing crazy, 6/7 classes a day and you just repeat the same class) but you get weekends off and they pay your airfare dont they?

One of my friends was upset he got switched last minute to Saitama after he was told he'd be in Tokyo.

It's just a 3 month position so i always thought it'd be a great way to try
out Japan before you came

Yes its three months and they pay airfare. If it doesn't work out theres Taiwan, china, Korea, phillipines, Mongolia, russia, SE Asia to go to. Might be fun.

The problem is that the commute could be far from where you live, and that you have to wear a suit.
Especially in the Kanto area, commutes can be rough.

One woman I know worked at a woman's university in Nagoya and liked it enough that she signed up again.
She had good students.
