My girlfriend has been offered an interview at Advanced Junior English Institute in Bundang and would like to know if anyone has any information about this hagwon. She has found some bad reviews online and it is on the blacklist so she is most likely going to turn down the interview. If anyone would like to share their thoughts and add to, or perhaps even defend, the growing criticism of the school, it would be much appreciated! Here are some of the bad reviews for anyone considering a position there:

Definitely listen to the reviews. They're not inaccurate. If anything, they're kind.

Do not work for this school.

The reviews are very emotional, and not everything they say is correct, however, they present a fairly accurate picture of what working for this school is like.

I just want to point out that the following post was mine and I was refering to Advanced Junior English Institute (AJ). This post was written before I signed my contract.

Unfortunately, I disregarded the reviews and ended up working there.

Thank you Gnawbert for reminding me of something embarrassing... But, at the same time hopefully my embarrassment can help another teacher.
