Never done it personally but from my friends who do, all the private eikaiwas are basically black as shit because their fundamental business model is exploiting disposable foreign labor.
Dispatch Assistant Language Teacher positions also have a reputation for being shady and black.
That said, most English industry positions aren't black in terms of overtime because they want to keep you 1 hour under the limit for full time benefits. They are black in terms of denying you benefits, treating you like shit, and being hives of power abuse and sexual harassment.
Oh, and theres a very good chance that you'll be the only foreign staff member who's not an ethnonationalist chud.
If you're planning to go as a gap year or something, then yeah it's an easy way of putting food on the table. Grit your teeth and bear it.
If you want to make a career of it, absolutely get qualified as a proper teacher and try to find a job at a private school or even university before you go.
