      Pros

      EF offers the unique opportunity to work in a fast-paced, for-profit company that has at its core a social mission that anyone can get behind. It feels like a start-up with a safety net, which presents so much opportunity to be creative, take chances and innovate. Staff are passionate about what they do and doing the best for their teams. The office is open -- nobody has an office or a cube -- and beautiful. It's a fun work place to work and grow. The organization looks at its staff whenever new roles arise, so there are opportunities for growth for high performers. And if you'd like international travel to be a part of your professional life, EF is the place for you!

      Cons

      The office is convenient to public transportation, but there aren't a ton of lunch and other options around.

      Pros

      Good training, good communication especially for a remote position, flexible, great management

      Cons

      Scheduling and staffing effectively could be challenging due to unpredictable nature of emergency response, which caused both understaffed shifts and overstaffed shifts. In addition, phone-based customer service can be emotionally challenging - customers in stressful situations can often be difficult to deal with.

      EF (Education First) Response

      Hearing that the training, communication, and management stood out, especially in a remote setting, is really meaningful. Thank you for sharing! As you mentioned, the nature of emergency response is inherently unpredictable. Our phone-based support in high stress situations can be central to defining the experience for travelers, and the people who handle it are a big part of that. We’re proud of the team you were part of and hope the skills you built here continue to serve you well.

      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.
