      Pros

      You will meet a lot of challenges. To be a sales, with marketing department support can make the SALE easily. EF also provide training but this training not only a program, but also comes from your colleagues, customers, policies.

      Cons

      Communication skills, time management, problem solving.

      Amazing opportunities for the right person

      Tour consultant

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Amazing opportunity for travel and growth, the caveat is that you must be willing or open to relocation to experience growth, especially if you are working in a smaller office. If you are successful in your role you will have amazing travel benefits that are unparalleled! No two days are the same and you are always getting opportunities to try new things inside and outside of your specific role. The people here are amazing. A very fun, young office environment with no cubicles! This is a work hard/play hard atmosphere and the company is actively adding new perks to enhance the staff benefits package, making it more competitive than most. The management is actively working on retaining good people and that is a big change from years past.

      Cons

      Work hard/play hard. This is definitely a work environment that can be a challenge if you are not a self starter and willing to put in the hours to be successful. There can be many distractions (one con of a very open floor plan) and if you are easily distracted you may struggle to get your work done in a typical 9-5 time frame.

      I really do NOT recommend...

      Pros

      -Pre-planned lessons -Not too many real teaching hours (about 22 per week on average) -Easy to get a job with them as a native speaker -Opportunity to meet lots of new people -Many nice students

      Cons

      -A big corporate machine with no one in control who really cares about staff or students -Ridiculous split shifts (eg 10am-2pm + 4-5pm + 7-10pm) -They won't let teachers find their own accommodation and place them in THE grottiest places imaginable showing complete apathy when teachers complain -Serious problems of micro-management rather than sorting out real problems such as extremely high teacher turnover rate (wonder why...) -Very low wage (told it is 65000 RUB (2014)- you actually only get about 50000 RUB which is barely enough to survive when renting a room in Moscow) -When problems arise, teachers are told to stop being negative rather than problems being addressed -Bad relations between management and employees -Little respect shown by management for teachers -Extremely poor organisation- no procedure for when a teacher becomes unwell
