Pros

*The English Department leaves you alone and lets you teach your classes as you see fit. *Long summer/winter vacations (paid).

Cons

*The salary is wholly insufficient given the cost of living in Seoul. *Teaching hours are too long for a faculty position. *The students are not the best or brightest. *The facilities/tech are often inadequate or only function half the time, often preventing you from being able to properly teach your class.

Pros

It's a great place for high pay for few teaching hours and lots of vacation time. The teaching staff and administration are friendly and helpful.

Cons

Unfortunately, there is not a lot of opportunity to work overtime hours and courses offered during vacation periods are minimal as well.
