Pros

EF is a company that cares about its people, sells a good product (much better than selling soft drinks), and invests money where it needs to. There is lots of opportunity to move to other offices, switch jobs, take on more or different responsibilities, etc. The ceiling is very high if you want to move up and have good ideas. You do have to be able to take responsibility for yourself and your work though. People who just want to sit back and follow instructions aren't going to like it.

Cons

Growth is very fast and it can be hard to keep up with who does what. The organization is relatively flat and flexible, very little admin, but people do move around a lot so it's not always easy to find the right person to talk to right away. That said, I've been with the company over 10 years and there are still lots of people here who got here before me. It's not that turnover is high, just that people take on new roles and are encouraged to grow.

Pros

Well structured, comprehensive formal training. Perks and benefits

Cons

Once training is done, you’re pretty much on your own to figure things out. The weekly meetings with your manager end. You spend all day on the phones and there’s not a whole lot of interaction or collaboration going on in the office or across your team. At the end of the day it is a job and the perks and benefits are nice (travel). It just seemed social interaction of any kind, even to ask questions, was discouraged and in fact was viewed as distracting. The cold calling just gets to be tiring after a while, making it hard to stay at the job for longer than 1-2 years. Good entry level sales job, though.
