In response to Re Blacklist Bucheon Poly, Korea (Alyce T. Wise)

I worked here during this time too. I think I know who posted this positive response and I can say it is unequivocally false. If my assumption on who this is is correct, it was posted under the pressure or "suggestion" by the director on a nervous foreign teacher.

Rest assured, kiddos, many teachers have walked away from this campus with plenty of horror stories. Bad management, deceitful director, and shady tactics are the MO of this Poly. The excessive turnover and non-existent contract renewal speaks for itself. Also, workload here increases monthly. This is due to the fact that students are leaving in droves and the director's "solution" is a nose to the grind approach, not realizing that lessons suffer because of this and -gasps- more students leave.

As far as payment goes? Sure, you get your paycheck. But they still find ways to stick it to you and save a few dollars. I've seen several people get their utilities "messed up." Often they try to get new teachers to pay for their entire first months utilities even if they come in at the end. Funny thing is, the previous teacher pays up until the day they leave, giving the director a nice meal that weekend. They also don't start paying into pension until maybe a month after you've started, so you even though they deduct it, you don't get it back.

There is a constant state of confusion there. Management never had a clue what's going on, and when you don't do something hat magically appears, it's your fault. There is also an exorbitant amount of grading, comments, and corrections on top of lesson plans and the 10 classes you teach a day.

Bottom line, up front: there are tons of hagwons out there. Don't bother with this. Some people go because the pay is a bit better, but when you do the math on hourly wage, you're working an extra full week a month for maybe $180 more. Take lower hours and enjoy your time there. Don't bother with this place.
