Pros
I've been working for EF for around 18 months now as a Kids & Teens teacher and I truly recommend it as a great company to work for. If you are looking for a long term career and to progress they are very supportive, and there are clear career paths you can choose to follow, with opportunities to earn more and take on more roles to gain experience. EF also offers teachers the chance to take full funded qualifications such as the Cert TESOL or Dip TESOL. EF also offers their own long distance qualifications, and supports you in taking teaching qualifications such as the TKTs. Another very important pro, particularly working for EF in China, is that they sort out everything with your working Visa for you. All I have to do, is hand my passport in and they organise everything. This is very unusual here in China for a company to do this and makes life so much easier and takes away this stress from you. They also offer new teachers a 10000 arrival loan to help you set up, and provide a lot of support with finding accommodation and settling in. You are given a mentor at your school, and there is a team of experienced teacher ambassadors on hand to help you. These are just a few of the pros of working for EF!
Cons
The hours can be seen as a con, as often you will need to work weekends and evenings. However, if you stay longer with the company there can sometimes be opportunities to adapt this to suit your needs. This is only really for Kids & Teens teachers, as other departments have varying hours.
