What these guys are saying is absolutly true!! I would never recommend this school to anyone. Like David said at first everything will be great. The manager is so friendly and she wants to help you with this or that, but after a few weeks you will definitely regret coming to this school. Its not good to burn bridges but if you can find something better then definitely take it.

This school is very money hungry and theres no communication between the schools and teachers. I would suggest to brush up on your japanese laws because you might be surprised with what this school is trying to get away with.

What the other guy said is accurate as well, about the pay deduction if you are 1 minute late. It doesnt matter if you dont have a class for another 2.5 hours, you were 1 minute late so they can take money from you. You must also have your visa before you can legally start working. If the government finds out that you are working without your proper visa they will kick you out of this country. Also if you have a specialties in humanities/international service visa you can only work like 25-29 hours but the way this company goes around that is making your other hours that you are working non-teaching hours so technically you are only working up to 29 hours, the other hours are prep time so you arent technically paid for that. (I am sure other schools do that as well, just something to think about)

If you somehow do decide to risk it and work for this company then I would suggest you get all the details about what exactly you would be doing and get your exact working schedule before you sign anything if possible.

They mainly hire from abroad because of their bad reputation within japan and they know, just like other bad schools, there is a plethora of people who would love the opportunity to come to japan who may not know to research japanese laws and who may not know that a company shouldn`t treat their employees a certain way.

There are other with the same, worse, or maybe even better experiences here. Everyone is different. Take any information you get with a grain of salt but just know if you read information and you see a pattern it may be something to consider. This school has a high turnover rate for a reason. They are losing students every year for a reason.
