Pros

Fantastic support, the best pay in the ALT business. Generous holiday time and a lot of downtime deskwarming for studying or doing anything you like. Pay during vacation time is great too. Great for getting your foot through the door. Flights reimbursed.

Cons

No real career progression in role itself, but lots of opportunity within the JET culture ‘advisor roles, translation roles at speech contests etc’. If you break contract you’re pretty much on your own.

Pros

No experience needed, just a degree. For what it is, the best paid ALT role in Japan

Cons

Every situation is different. Could be great, could be terrible. All down to luck.
