EF Education First Response

Hello there, we are glad to hear that the people, benefits, and travel opportunities made a meaningful impact on your experience as an Account Manager in Denver. Making sure our staff feel supported and guided by strong leadership is something we hold ourselves to, and we appreciate you sharing where that fell short for you. On return to office, prior to Covid, we had a traditional 5 days in policy for office-based staff which then evolved over several years from remote permitted to 2 days in, then 3, and now 4. We are committed to in-person collaboration whenever possible and know that change doesn't work for everyone. Thank you for your review and time with us in Denver.

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.
