Pros

Great work environment, great management in my department, great coworkers and great collaboration, great working hours and very long vacations and ample holidays, plus to top it off the students are great. You might be catching onto a trend here.

Cons

VERY low pay compared to other universities and few options for advancement or overtime pay and zero general pay raises for staff in years and years other than a yearly increase to base pay everyone gets for the first five years. Nothing after that. The lack of any increase to base pay seems to be industry-wide, however other comparable universities in the area and nationwide have much higher starting pay. We are in an inexpensive area but it's still very low pay. Most teachers I know do extra work on the side to make ends meet, ESPECIALLY if they have families( working legally or illegally).

Pros

Competitive salary with housing allowance. Excellent coordinator and supportive staff Well-developed program Beautiful campus Full-time employment is only working 4 days a week, for a total of 13 hours plus 4 office hours. Two months of vacation in both the winter and summer

Cons

The university is a little far removed from Daegu city proper, and is nearer the small town of Hayang, so commute time can be around 40 minutes to an hour for people wanting to live in the city. Also, teachers share an office with about 10 other staff members, and so it can be hard to get work done sometimes due to chatter. Otherwise, there weren't too many cons.
