    Good for beginners, but not for experienced.
    The good thingsMaybe it's good for starters who wants to learn Nihongo. Provides training and recreational activities.
    The challengesAlmost everyday, you need to render overtime. If you took a sick leave, you need to recover those days you missed. No work-life balance. Stagnant growth. Promises not granted. Low salary, little to no salary increase. Hard to achieve your goals.
