Avoid Wonderland, Ding Ding Dang, and Kids Herald Club
« on: February 17, 2006, 03:20:29 PM »
If you're thinking about teaching in Korea, please do yourself a favour and give these three language academy franchises a miss. They have notorious reputations and deservedly so. There is the odd franchise that is OK, but by and large they are horribly unprofessional and some of them are very corrupt indeed. You can do much better in Korea, believe me.

Wonderland operates one of the largest language school franchises in South Korea. They are highly competitive with each other and often do things that are way out of line for decent employer/employee relationships...Most of my friends who have had any connection to this organization come away losing money and generally have a bad time for a number of reasons...I also worked at Wonderland once upon a time several years back and left a few months short of completing my one year contract with them...I lost some where in the neighborhood of $6,000 that I was not paid along with my severance they conveniently decided they didn't want to give me as we agreed when they released me from my contract...

That is what I know personally...Perhaps other people have their own story to tell...
