Pros

It's always about the people. I've made life long friends from working with like minded people at EF. The mission brings together people who want to make a positive impact on the world whilst working in a for-profit company - not so common! I also feel rare in my friendship group outside of EF where very few people have stayed at the same company as long as I have. We're often celebrating big milestones for many colleagues so it's definitely a place to build a career if you have the staying power to see things through.

Cons

We move at a fast pace so it's very easy for things to be missed - never on purpose though!

Pros

You get to choose your tour and recruit the students you want to bring. The paid chaperone ratio is 6:1, so it is very manageable. The tours are great and the local experts are wonderful.

Cons

Company support is variable. There is high turnover and new consultants are very sales motivated and don't always get the nuances of your school or community group. I have had some WONDERFUL concusltants, but they have always been promoted before I get to work with them again.
