has anyone worked for this company? what are they like to work for?

Aren't they recruiters? If so, you do not work for them.

They are recruiters, and I had a great experience with them. I worked with Amy and Simpson and have nothing but good things to say.
You won't be wokring for them though. They will introduce you to employers. Recruiters are just a matchmaking service.

I have worked with them.

They are recruiters, but they are awesome. They found both me and my partner good public school positions with great salaries.

They even gave me a cell phone when I arrived for free. Albeit, an old one, but at least it got me started.

They are good peeps.

can you post a link to them?

Yes, they seem to be good people. They gave you a cell phone? Wow, usually for new recruits, Simpson will show off his latest top of the line cell phone when driving you from the airport to where ever it is you will call home. They are giving away cell phones to the latest arrivals? Maybe you need it for work such as if your schedule is unpredicable to be told at the last minute about the classes you are to teach. Wow, thats real to have a cell phone, considering I thought it was very nice of Simpson to let me call home on his most hi tech cell phone ever, to announce I arrived safely. The latest 700,000 won cell phone allows you to watch TV and does all sorts of unexplainable things.

I have a home phone provided by the school that I use a 20,000 won calling card on to call home for 7 hours total with no connection fees.

I understand that Amy and Simpson can set up many sorts of teaching gigs, not just kindy hagwon so I hope to work with them more in the future. Uh, who are the equivelent in Seoul? Just curious.

They are totally awesome. Simpson even brought over his SUV to help us move (in a pinstripe shiny suit of course!). They occassionally have jobs in Seoul, but rarely. Usually Busan, Ulsan, Daegu, and in between.

My boss is using them to find a replacement for me. If you see one of their listings for Geoje, you can trust that's a good one.

Like Kat2 said, they rarely have jobs in Seoul. They told me that it was impossible to find a job in Seoul paying more than 1800000 won /month (false). Glad to hear that they are well-appreciated in other areas.

Ditto on all the great comments. They found me my last two jobs, and I couldn't be happier with their services. They're prompt, efficient, polite, flexible, and relaxed. Amy usually answers e-mails in 15 min or less. They will handle every aspect of hiring and dealing with your employer - even beyond what one could expect from a recruiter.
