Pros

Fantastically managed Orientation gives an amazing opportunity to make new friends Apartment covered which is a major relief Gives you the best opportunity to live life in what is an amazing country

Cons

The only major downside for me was the insistence of deskwarming. Annual leave has been reduced for no real reason, give you only 18 days. While Korea has many public holidays, deakwarming is a complete waste of time which no other colleague has to obey. Just us

Pros

My colleagues at the school where I was placed were very helpful. They gave me very good advice on how to improve as a teacher. Most also spoke good English, which I heard is quite rare in the Korean public school system. They all made me feel welcome and part of the school. My salary was always paid on time and I got a bonus for working at two different schools. The students were nice and participated well in class.

Cons

I disliked that we only found out which type of school we were placed in after we arrived in South Korea. I really wanted to get a high school or middle school placement. Instead I got placed in elementary as did around 90% of my cohort. I was unaware the chance of getting a middle or high school position was so slim before leaving.
