Pros
-Educational materials seem good and useful for students -They seem to be doing their best to grow and adapt to new demands for english learning -Students
Cons
-New programs or flyers or updates every day, things are always changing and there was no organizational process to let us know when they changed or how to handle it, just shoved at us the day of. -Jam packed schedules with no time to reflect on what just happened without rushing to the next class -Focus was always on getting more lessons booked, not on delivering quality lessons -Trainings were often a waste of time, other teachers just wanted to talk about themselves and show off or ask for personal advice, so you couldn't practice the skill you came to practice.
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
The company is great for helping you settle into Japan. The website is very clear about what gets done and how they set you up (apartment, your pay, etc). You can meet various people and have a great cultural experience in another country. Lessons are generally structured so you don't have to create content from scratch. Your pay is alright for an entry level foreign English teacher position (and compared to other companies). You get healthcare insurance and health check-ups!!!
Cons
A lot of it depends on your own school. If your school isn't well organized, work is going to be rough. Even if it's a good school, you're going to be very busy. You can be overworked, but that's technically accounted for in your pay. If you have the usual weekends, then you miss out of 10 national holidays in the year. Getting someone to cover for you when you take time off can be difficult. Vacation days and sick days are the same 5 days combined. Upper executives seem very distant and lacking connection with staff in terms of what to expect. Probably not important in the future, but compared to other companies, AEON responded the slowest. Main takeaway is YMMV.
