Vantaggi

I have worked at Minerva for almost 4 years now. I have also heard the seemingly endless roll of horror stories, from managerial incompetence to pay disputes, about other teaching companies in Japan; Minerva embodies none of them. Admittedly, I am rather independent and self-directed, so I haven't needed much support, training or otherwise, from the staff. Nevertheless, when I have needed things, the staff has been astonishingly prompt and cordial.

Svantaggi

The training has been unstructured on the occasions that we've done it. I have seen posts elsewhere from ALTs belly-aching about this at other companies, so presumably this is important to someone. However, if you need someone to train you to be an ALT, perhaps you should pursue other career opportunities (Tip: Don't aim high.).

Vantaggi

1) Ideal for those who only need to make a few extra dollars; 2) Foreign managers seem very reasonable people, and; 3) Very little stress in classes (as long as you can live with the, "anything is okay mentality).

Svantaggi

1) They don't tell you at the interview that you'll probably get from only between 1 to three lessons per day which means you won't be able to survive off this job only; 2) Some schools aren't very easy to get to. If you aren't a Japanese speaker/reader you might have some anxious moments (occasionally); 3) When you arrive at your school, the Japanese teacher will probably tell you, "Anything is ok", which means you have to come up with a lesson plan really quick, and; 4) every month the company has some off days, which means you won't have any classes.
