Or have you ever worked for them? What are the hours like and are they a reputable firm?

I've been offered a position so I like to know before I accept....


Cheers

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?!!

I looked at them closely sometime back. My impression was that it's pretty bad all the way around. There are many places MUCH better than this dump!
