I switched to a GEPIK school after a year in a hagwon, and I couldn't be happier. The work load is bearable, the hours are great, and the benefits are great! Lots of vacation time, good support from GEPIK as well as school staff. Some cons: Deskwarming, large class sizes, not able to get to know students personally.
Program Info
GEPIK is a great program for people looking to teach in Korea (old and new). The places where you are placed are close enough to Seoul, so you can live the big city life while living in peace in a smaller town. Staff are helpful Hours and pay are good.
