Pros

Energizing, stimulating, great potential for growth and development: these are just a few of the terms I would use to describe the pros of working at EF. I've had the opportunity to touch so many different kinds of projects and work in the time I've been at EF, and the possibilities can seem endless.

Cons

Because EF is so fast-paced, it's easy to lose yourself in the work and completely lose work-life balance, which is not always a top priority for the management. With anything that is moving quickly, sometimes you can miss/skip some crucial steps, which can be frustrating.

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.
