Anybody know about the apartments that they assign in central seoul locations?

Different posters, from different time periods, have all said that English Channel is a bad place to work.

English Channel's policy of not paying their teachers their last pay check on their last day of work but after they have left the country is a big red flag. As for the idea of staying in Korea to wait for your last pay check, you can not do that as they force their teachers to leave their apartment once they are done working. Where's my f---- hard earned money?!!

English Channel apartments in Seoul are very small and unfurnished except for a fridge, washer, small stovetop, and a single bed (no sheets, blankets). It should be clean.

Regarding pay: EC is very good about paying all money owed to teachers in my experience. Hourly pay is low, but they are honest with respect to money owed to teachers (at least at the corporate branches).
