      It means a lot to hear that your outstanding colleagues were a highlight in your time as a Tour Consultant in our Boston office. Our compensation packages, which include travel opportunities and great benefits alongside salary, are evaluated regularly and benchmarked within our industry. Additionally, leadership consistency, work/life balance, and growth opportunities are areas we care deeply about, and we appreciate you sharing where you feel those fell short. We hope your time at EF serves you well going forward and we appreciate your review.

      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.
