Thanks for your review and reflecting on your time as a Copywriter in Boston. The travel opportunities and sense of community you've described make EF a special place to work, and we're happy to hear those were highlights in your time here. Every year, we benchmark our compensation packages with industry standards, and we appreciate your comments towards that conversation. Career growth at EF can span a wide range of roles, teams, and products across the organization and that career path often looks less like a straight ladder and more like a spiral staircase. We wish you well in what comes next.

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.
