Adventure Teaching is trustworthy but impersonal

So I have been in Korea for over four months and I am loving my time here. In fact I believe I am going to stay another year or two!

I have mixed emotions when it comes to Adventure teaching. First they are well established and based in America which is an advantage because there is no language barrier. But I found them a bit impersonal. They mostly correspond via email and my recruiter Kimberley would not read my messages well. I ended up answering the same questions numerous times and would have to send the questions I had to her two to three times in order to get a response. I felt like I was just a pay check for her and not a person. Also AT places you in the first company they find, I realize of course that I had didn't have to agree or sign anything, but Kimberley made it seem like I couldn't pass this offer up. And lastly Adventure Teaching works with TheArrivalStore.com and they really push the products. I spent several hundred dollars on items that I could get in Korea for less. Just know that they have pillows, blankets, plates, cups, etc...

But for all those negative AT did place me in a good campus ( the company I work for is known to have some issues with the native English teachers, but I got lucky and have a good staff)
