I've had a friend/former co-worker go and teach overseas a couple of years ago.
Your quote is CRUCIAL. There are a lot of good but also a lot of bad (as in really bad) companies to work for. Sorry I can't offer you any specifics, but really do your research. My friend, unfortunately, worked for a company that would refuse to pay at times, sanctioned teachers for no apparent reason, made things unbearable at times, etc. There are also a lot more horror stories from other people.
That said, like people have posted in here, good experiences are definately there. Just make sure you do your research, and talk to as many people that have done it/are doing it. I believe also there are websites talking about what schools/work settings overseas are good, what ones are bad, etc. Check them out - I would imagine you could find them via a search engine?
