Pros

Hmm- they get us to china. Free tickets, TEFL, and umm- that’s it! Oh- and they pay salary on time/ but shouldn’t they all?

Cons

When I started talking to other teachers outside EL(Education Last) I found out my salary is very low. EF English First(Education Last) will only pay 13,667 RMB per month. I found that other jobs pay anywhere between 18,000-30,000 RMB! Stay away from here. The school is so sales and money oriented. They should change the company name to Money First, Education Last! They don’t care about the wellbeing of the teachers. During the summer time and winter time, we have to work 6 days a week and teach about 35 hours a week! That’s very exhausting!!!! When you want to quit EF, they will force you to give them back your passport so they can cancel your resident permit. Remember! This is illegal- check with your labor board to see what is your rights. The company is very political- they promote people who can really toss salad rather than people who are capable or managing. No wonder EF sucks! Look elsewhere for jobs.
