Company driven by nepotism and exploiting expats - Marketing EF (Education First) Employee Review

Pros

Almost as in the army or prison: you bond well with your co-workers as you are all sharing the same negative experience. There is a reason the most skilled employees leave EF as soon as possible.

Cons

Poor management, high nepotism, long hours, poor salary, empty promises, annual raises of 1-3% even though hitting every growth target.

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.
