Pros

The people (besides upper management). They truly believe in the power of opening the world through education.

Cons

I worked at EF for 3 years and, looking back on my time there now, am disgusted at how I was treated. The upper management are pro gaslighters. They make you feel as though you are SO lucky to be working for the company, and compensate you for your passion and hard work with a free meal every now and then and overpriced office parties, instead of a respectable salary and chances for career improvement. It’s impossible to move up at EF, and those that do, have huge egos about it. Only now that I’ve moved on and joined other organizations, do I realize what it feels like to be valued as an employee and treated with respect in the workplace.

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.
