      EF (Education First) reviews

      A great place to start out your career but beware of being taken advantage of. - Director Level EF (Education First) Employee Review

      Pros

      Lots of fun perks including free travel (depending on position), fun daily environment and lots of room to move up. It's very hard to get fired or laid off - if you aren't doing well in your job, they generally just move you to another position. Great place to get a start in the corporate world. May not pay well (15-20k under market value) but will give you an inflated title.

      Cons

      Be prepared to be taken advantage of! Long hours, no overtime and very little in terms of "thank you". While they claim to promote a work/life balance, the people who devote their life to the company are the ones who get promoted.

      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.
