Correct me if I'm out of line (which I typically am), but is it meaningful to ask if "This random franchise" or "That random franchise" is a 'good' school?

What possible conclusion could such an inquiry come to?

Considering a workplace is a little more complicated than a hotel, and changes faculty and ownership yearly, by the time any sort of even proper peer-rated review were to be distributed, conditions would have already changed dramatically.

My advice? Find a high paying job, MAKE it a good school for you, one way or the other.

Someone could be working at the school right now, so the information could be up to date. Even if they left 2yrs ago, a lot of factors or people at the school could still be there. -_-

There's a teacher resource at least for the Choisun branch, where I think you can get in contact with teachers there. It's not the school's official site, but its ran by teachers I believe.

I would think that "experience" would be more difficult to spell than "hear" or "anybody's". Oh, and thanks for letting me know about the opening in Daechi DYB!
Lol, just kidding, man.

I know people that work there.

Avoid, avoid, avoid, avoid...

It sounds like they pay teachers a little bit more (2.5-ish) and give them good apartments for the privilege of running them into the ground and burning them out.

They also have to work six days a week (in most cases), get no return airfare and they have to work holidays (except Chuseok). Not too mention tonnes of unpaid, mandatory meetings and work-related events on Sundays and weekday mornings before work.

I've heard lots of other nastiness too.
