Many people feel underpaid for the amount that they work - and many feel constantly overworked. Management lacks transparency in their expectations for you, and this isn’t just high level managers, but direct superiors. It’s very easy to be suckered in by the “paid travel” perk, but it is very possible that you won’t travel at all.

Overall, EF presents a very attractive picture to younger applicants in particular, as they hire them in large groups to compensate for the high turnover. Remember that this is a place of business and has its faults, stressors, and ugly secrets just like anywhere else.
