Pros

The best reason to work at EF is the people. They are skilled at hiring really cool employees and you get an instant social life. They also are extremely generous with vacation time and the benefits are really good.

Cons

The pay sucks. The amount of work that you are expected to complete in a normal day is almost impossible due to meetings that they schedule. You are just asked to stay late or come in on saturday till you get it done. You have customers yelling at you from time to time. It's phone sales so can be boring and monotonous.

Pros

Great office building-- the location is really good too, nice modern structure with good views; not at all depressing like some offices good benefits overall; good peers

Cons

Management changes course with little planning or advance warning. This can be a source of frustration across departments and there is usually little anyone can do about it.
