where to begin?
no pension,
no medical
no housing (they will loan you the key money).
no guaranteed salary (assuming you take the hourly plan)
no severance
higher tax rates
no holidays
no guarantee of a job after you arrive. It sucks to have an E2, paid your airfare and get fired before you start. It is a lot of cash to lay out and be stuck 1/2 way round the world and have to try to get a new job and work out a new visa (while arranging new documents).
What is wrong with CDI covers about 900 threads over the last 9 years.
ASKED and ANSWERED many times over.
Seeing that your thread was coming from someone who has been registered here for over a year I first thought it was either a troll or a joke.

I think you should mention a specific branch of April before you throw out such harsh accusations that were not true at my branch at all.
I worked for CDI but CDI April was one floor below us and of course we were close with all of the teachers and had the same boss. EVERYTHING you mentioned is false at my branch other than not being guaranteed a job if you don't pass training. The people I knew that worked there had all of the benefits normally given with most jobs in Korea. |

| The thing is it really is all about your speciffic branch. I knew people who managed to make it through the whole year without any major crises. I had so many I could make a whole thread about my branch and how insanely bad the conditions were. It really was so incredibly shady about just about everything. |

Working for CDI is like being on a bad reality TV show. You have a job IF you pass this training! If not, well too bad! First you arrive and do a redonkulous week straight of training (unpaid) were they rip you apart during the mock teaching. Then, if you don't pass the training they will "work something out." Pay you less then was on your agreed contract, but since the training didn't workout, they have you by the balls.
CCTV big brother monitoring, intensives, no holidays, possible weekend work, shady pension practices, (reporting I made 1.2 when I made 2.5) CDI and its affiliates are bad bad bad people. TL;DR DON'T DO IT!! |
