Pros

- Offers young workers a legal work visa to China. - Lots of support to help you arrange your arrival abroad (airport pickup, hotel, visa arrangements, medical check, etc.) - Pay is high for China.

Cons

- Support stops after you arrive abroad. -Although the company claimed to offer free language classes, these were promptly cancelled because it was too expensive. - No HR department. - Management was horribly unprofessional. The director frequently ranked the attractiveness of employees in the office or planned her vacations during work hours. Another supervisor physically assaulted a teaching assistant and management did not care. - Pay starts high but the increases are relatively small unless you apply for a promotion. - Advancement within the company is difficult and depends more on personal relationships with management rather than experience or merit. - There is an extremely high turnover for both academic and sales staff. In my year and half there only about sixty percent of the employees completed their year long contract.

Pros

Very inexpensive health care, good coverage. Management also has low ethics so there's very low expectation of employees. (pro, if you are lazy). Once in a while they will let you take one of their tours on the house.

Cons

Low pay, low standards, low company/culture ethics, not professional environment, not organized, too many meetings to discuss more meetings, too many egos.

Pros

It's a very entrepreneurial company with ambitious people and great colleagues. It feels like you're in the frontier of your work and that everybody want to constantly push forward and evolve both as a company and regarding customer service and the product we provide. The industry is fast growing which makes the future look bright.

Cons

Some issues with infrastructure and a rather small company in comparison with the rest of EF however has the support from a very big and experienced enterprise.
