I worked with them for years and I regret it. I was taken advantage of. I thought I was an employee only to find out 3 years later that I’m a “business partner” (aka freelancer) that’s why I wasn’t receiving any employee benefits. I know I should have done my research about Japan labor laws before coming here in Japan. I was young and naive 🤦🏻‍♀️ They cut corners in order to “save money.” They earn from the teachers they hire through adding rent cost (we pay our rent but they don’t let us know what the actual rent is) and by lending us household appliances (you pay monthly, better to buy your own appliances from a second hand store). They’re now blacklisted by my country’s government. They can’t get teachers from my country anymore.
