Pros

Honestly, amazing benefits. EF probably has the most comprehensive medical plan in the corporate world. Great dental, good 401k matching. If you do your job you'll travel abroad at least once a year on their dime, which is a pretty nice perk.

Cons

EF has absolutely no interest in employee retention. They hire 22 year old kids straight out of college to man the phones and work them until they get bored, go back to grad school, or get a real job. While the company has "unlimited sick days"- don't take them or you'll be hounded about it by "HR" even with a doctor's note. Pay to lower than average for the industry, but bonuses can get you back to a normal salary.

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.
