To those of you who have worked for Hess, on the whole would you recommend the experience? I accept that there is always a bit of risk in paying out airfare and the first months accomodation etc without a guaranteed job once you get there, but there are some true horror stories floating around on the web. Is it really that bad?

Are there any locations in particular you would recommend asking to teach in?

Could you give an example of these horror stories? I'm curious if they are more than just culture shock and people going "they wanted me to work on Saturday!"

There are a few here - http://www.teflschoolreviews.com/hess-educational-organization-taiwan-200674.html.

Like you say, a lot of these could probably be down to silly things like people who are not expecting to have to do actual work!
