Is this place any good to work at? When I lived in Andong I used to jog all the way up there sometimes and man it is out in the middle of nowhere. Does it have nice perks to off-set the remoteness of the place?

Put in the sticky about contracts.

It's just a job posting and not even a good one.

Out in the middle of no-where.
Unigwan pretending to be the university.
Wages about the same as any other newbie in Korea for any other newbie job.
Work load no different from a PS job.

Taint NUFIN SPECIAL there.

[hogwonguy1979]

it used to have a horrible rep a few years ago, lots of turnover and some pretty bad working conditions, at the time considered to be one of the worst univ gigs in korea

based on that job posting and what they want it hasnt gotten much better, all that stuff to submit for a job paying 2.0 in the middle of bfe

you can do better at ps

18 hours min plus unspecified number of 'vacation' classes, 'camps' and 'institute' work all for just 2 mill - it wouldn't be worth it imo unless you were desperate to escape a really dire job. Maybe the only advantage would be to get a university name on your resume.

[transmogrifier]

I wouldn't touch a job with those conditions
