      Pros

      There are huge opportunities for analysts and developers. Since EF is a traditionally sales- and relationship-focused company, there's lots of room to optimize, deploy new technology, and create new processes. I've learned a ton and been given far more responsibility than I would at most companies.

      Cons

      The company can be resistant to change. EF (at least in Boston) is usually not an innovator in product or technology -- I would describe my division's strategy as "don't rock the boat." Sometimes I feel that the culture values Getting Along over making tough choices to grow the business.

      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.
