I was wondering if anyone has worked for CDI, Pagoda or EPIK and what kind of experiences were they? |

If you mean the EPIK program and not some Hagwan named Epik then it will depend on the school district and often the actual school. I've had a good EPIK experience so far, and I figure I'm more likely to get my paycheck working for a public school. There are some public school threads you can read. |

I was thinking of gonna to CDI when my current contract ends in September. Does anyone have any opinions about the operation. |

Have't seen a 2007 contract, but I imagine they are still breaking labor law with their woefully inadequate vacation days. Plus Saturdays are mandatory. |

Once upon a time I walked into a CDI invterview.... took one look at the contract... immediately walked out.....
The only good use I've seen for CDI is for those who aren't white but do have teaching degrees or other skills (speaking Korean).... And even then you can often do better with SMOE.... |
