Pros

There are a lot of benefits to working for EF - the support you get when you arrive in China is fantastic, and the people you work with are great. There is a clear progression if you're ambitious or want to stay in the TEFL business as a career. It is one of the best TEFL companies to teach with in China for these reasons, you hear lots of other teachers in other jobs complaining about aspects of their jobs that just don't affect you.

Cons

The salary is probably the biggest issue with EF. It seems that whenever you compare your salary with teachers from other companies, you come out on bottom. You are asked to work hard, and it as one of the leading names in China, it would be nice to be compensated accordingly.

Pros

The freedom to work at home and the students.

Cons

The money is great when you have students. They aren't transparent about anything because I feel like they are downsizing and they are not telling their teachers.
