Pros

The office is in a great location with easy access to transportation.

Cons

The move to five days in the office significantly reduced flexibility. There is a strong top-down management style, and micromanagement from senior leadership often creates an environment where employees feel they aren’t fully trusted.

We are sorry to hear that you feel this way working on your marketing team. Your comments around leadership style and micromanagement don't reflect the environment we encourage at EF. We have shared this with leadership, but it's also best to speak directly with your manager or your People and Culture team and share more about your experience so it can be addressed properly. Thank you again for taking the time to write about your time at EF.

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.
