Pros

Incredible peer level colleagues. Met some of the BEST people working at EF. Fantastic benefits. Best insurance I’ve ever had.

Cons

Pay is SO so low. Bare minimum. Their bonus structure is wild. Not sure what’s going on in the finance department and whoever sets the bonus structure but whoever is setting it seems to truly have no clue what they’re doing. The structure was constantly changing. People were consistently not reaching their goals. So many parts of the goals you had to reach were so beyond your control.

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.
