Pros

The English Department has improved a lot in the past year or two. The curriculum is much more well-defined. There is a lot of support from the English leaders and the head of English. As a foreigner in Japan, working for a Japanese company can sometimes be challenging, but you can feel reassured that the foreign managers have got your back and support you accordingly. The workload is also not too stressful, and it is a great experience working around real Japanese people and children. The two bonus payments a year really make it worth it and are a great way to save money for your future; each bonus is almost the same as one paycheck! There is also the opportunity to become a permanent seishain employee, which is very rare for foreign workers in Japan. This can help you get a permanent visa or a loan from a bank to buy a house! Overall, I highly recommend working for HOPPA for a good work-life balance.

Cons

I feel like in my personal situation, there are no major negative points to working for HOPPA.

Pros

The children are really, very cute Some of the Japanese staff can be helpful Workspace is clean (but hot in summer)

Cons

Hiring Manager seems to dislike men and will belittle male staff at every opportunity Micro-managing management style is used to control and manipulate Lack of curriculum development means teachers are left to fend for themselves Workspace is very hot in summer (no electric fans permitted) Staff are not permitted to drive to work Compensation is very possibly the lowest in the industry No smokers; no tattoos; no beards; no body piercings allowed Must wear company shirt (too small, as they did not have my size) No possibility of advancement within the company Basically, a career dead-end
