| Are you already in Korea? They offered me a contract and after agreeing, they immediately reneged on the pre-paid airfare clause in the contract. |

nope not in Korea yet. I heard they were one of the better schools but maybe not. I take it you did not sign with them then? |

| Be prepared to pay for your own airfare there then. Even though it was in the contract we agreed upon that the airfare was pre-paid, they refused to do anything but reimburse me. I backed out of the deal because if they weren't following their end of the contract from the start, I didn't want to see what other things in the contract they may refuse to do. |

| I interviewed with them and was offered the job. Contract and everything looked good, but then they refused to let me talk to current teachers and that was a big red flag so I turned the job down. |

| They refused at first to let me speak with their teachers. After some persistence, I got the e-mail of one of their teachers. The teacher said everything was good there, but then they refused to pay the airfare they said they would. |

This is the best advise I would give anyone contemplating working in Korea, especially a hagwon. Talk to current employees. It is the best gauge of the working environment you are committing a year of your life to.
I can't even imagine moving half way around the world and committing to a year long contract sight unseen.
If all foreigners coming to Korea did this, the benefits would be exponential. |

| A bad start if they lie about something in the contract before starting off. What else would they renege on? |
