TAG Members Reviews

Extremely poor communication. They yell at you for looking at your phone during work but then a week later, will yell at you for not looking at the group texts for very last minute notifications. They solely communicate with the Korean teachers and a lot of times won't even talk to the foreign head teachers. There are about one major event a month where you have to work all throughout your working hours, even your break, for about 2 weeks to prepare. This place does not spend money on ANY decorations and will make their teachers make EVERYTHING from scratch. The only thing they are lenient on are streamers. They will buy streamers for decorations but everything else, MUST BE MADE BY HAND. With this considered, you would think the facility provides enough materials but teachers here fight for and hoard materials so they can have the "better" product because that's how you get on the "good-side" with the management. No materials as in basic adult scissors and colored paper. The management will give you no information on their standards of the event decoration and when it is subpar to their standards, they will shame the head teachers and degrade them in front of everyone in a meeting. The standards are not set but the higher-up was a design major so her expectations are outlandish. Don't expect a raise, let alone any type of negotiation mid-way (even if it is apparent you are working harder than everyone else) because the principal will scream at you, accusing you of being only money hungry and greedy. If you are lazy and want to do bare minimum, feel free to work at TAG. They will deliberately not give you work and have very low expectations of you but you will have to compromise with being demeaned and sporadically rebuked for insignificant matters. Korean teachers love to gossip and not work, so if you are a foreigner, expect to handle a class of 11-15 babies that are 5-7yo by yourself. The level of the babies vary from almost fluent to peeing themselves, crying everyday; some may not even know the alphabet but the expectations for them are finishing 3-5 pages of a textbook that are 2 years above level. Because of covid, some of the students are eating in the classroom and the teachers have to set up their lunch trays themselves with barely any help. They recycle food from the previous shift of classes that eat in the classrooms and there is never enough food for the students or the teachers. If you are lazy and don't care about occasionally being bullied by management but your priority is good housing and on-time, accurate pay; Tag is the place for you. Also, if you are single and looking to date, this place is a smorgasborg of people dating within the workplace. Lastly, if you are a foreigner, you must look everything up yourself and do everything you need to do by yourself. Immigration, banking, housing needs, etc. You will absolutely get no help from management and no one speaks English well. All the foreign teachers here look everything up themselves through a translator or through FB. The reviews below that are positive were uploaded by management or head teachers. The one negative review, IS TRUE AND FACTUAL WHAT WAS WRITTEN. The rebuttal reply from the vice principal is a lie. Nothing the vice principal stated has ever been implemented for the year 2020-2021. She doesn't even work at TAG anymore because she quit.

Workloads can be stressful at times with the amount we have to do in a short amount of time, but overall we have more time than most schools that give teachers to finish paperwork.
